Sports world marks 9/11’s 25th anniversary with tributes, flags, and unity

MLB and the broader sports world paused to mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks with on-field tributes. The Yankees and Mets wore first‑responder caps, the Toronto Blue Jays wore caps featuring both Canadian and American flags, and a wreath-laying and a national‑anthem moment under a giant field flag highlighted the ceremonies. The day was part of wider community efforts under the UNITE for Good initiative and 9/11 Day.

Daily Patriotism in the Bronx: Why God Bless America Plays at Every Yankees Game

More than 25 years after 9/11, God Bless America remains a daily Yankees ritual, a holdover from the attacks that the organization has kept even as other MLB teams scaled back. The seventh‑inning moment features military tributes and fans standing, with Yankees officials framing it as a powerful reflection on service and country. Over the years the song has faced controversy and changes—Kate Smith’s version was dropped, fan protests occurred, and some lawsuits arose over fan movement—but the tradition persists at Yankee Stadium, with plans to mark the 25th anniversary with special tributes and a Fire Department singer before the Mets opener.
