NEW YORK -- A sport can mean so much to a city and its fans. In the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, baseball was much more than just a game to the city of New York. The Mets took a step into uncharted territory to help with the healing process of the rescue workers of that dreadful day.
On Thursday -- nearly 17 years later -- two former Mets who were very involved in that healing process, John Franco and Todd Zeile, took a tour through the National September 11 Memorial & Museum led by New York City Fire Department Commissioner Daniel Nigro and executive vice president and deputy director for museum programs Clifford Chanin.
