The New York Yankees and New York Mets will wear hats honoring first responders during their games Friday on the 19th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City.
During an appearance on WFAN's Moose & Maggie Show, Mets first baseman Pete Alonso announced the news:
"Years prior, we weren't allowed to, but I think because of last year, and [Mets owner] Jeff Wilpon in the commissioner's ear, they're going to let us wear the hats. FDNY, NYPD, Port Authority, Sanitation, and EMTs—without those people, who knows what could've happened.
