Yankees-Mets to play on 20th anniversary of 9/11 during 2021 season (Report)

According to Tim Healey of Newsday, the New York Mets and New York Yankees will face one another on Sept. 11, 2021 — the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The confirmed schedule release for 2021 is expected to come out on July 9, but the commemorative game deserves all the attention ahead of the formal announcement.

On Sept. 11, 2001, two planes taking off from Boston to California crashed into the World Trade Center towers. The terrorist attack sent the country into shock and the city of New York into a sheltered state.
