Mets: When Mike Piazza lifted New York with one big September swing

On September 11, 2001, New York saw the worst terrorist act happen right in front of their eyes. When the World Trade Center buildings were hit it ruined everyone physically, emotionally, and mentally and nobody knew how they were going to keep their heads up. Then just ten days later a very special moment happened in Flushing when one member of the New York Mets swung a bat.

September 21, 2018, marks the 17 year anniversary of the biggest home run in Mike Piazza‘s career. Ten days after the World Trade Center attack baseball resumed in New York when the Atlanta Braves came to play the Mets.
