MINNEAPOLIS -- As a nation mourned after the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, baseball was something that the citizens of New York -- and the United States as a whole -- rallied around as part of the healing process.
Fifteen years after that fateful morning, baseball still remembers the American lives lost on that day. Before Sunday's game between the Twins and Indians, the Twins hosted a pregame ceremony that included a moment of silence as part of a league-wide remembrance of the tragedy that rocked the United States.
Both teams wore special caps with American flag patches, with proceeds from sales of those caps donated to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the Pentagon Memorial and the Flight 93 Memorial.
