Before they took the field to battle one another in the Subway Series, the Mets and Yankees joined in a moment of unity to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001 during a 20th anniversary ceremony at Citi Field.
Both teams came out of their respective dugouts to greet one another and stood together in a single formation for the playing of the national anthem and the honor guard. Former Yankees and Mets skippers Joe Torre and BobbyValentine, both threw out the ceremonial first pitch to first responders. There was even a documentary of the famous Mike Piazza home run on September 21, 2001 against the Braves that proved that it was ok to cheer again after the tragedy of 9-11.
