Thursday marked the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America, and the New York Yankees honored those who lost their lives that day ahead of their game against the Detroit Tigers:
Tonight, we remember those we lost, the heroism of all who bravely sacrificed their own lives to save others, and those who died from illnesses obtained at Ground Zero. Their spirit lives on today with our First Responders and all who serve our communities and our country.

Before Wednesday's game at Yankee Stadium, New York honored Charlie Kirk who had been assassinated earlier in the day in Utah.
Before tonight's game we held a moment of silence in memoriam of Charlie Kirk.

Kirk founded the youth activist group “Turning Point USA” and had become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk, a husband and father of two children, was 31 years old. pic.twitter.com/Fz5xPlmdu0
Classy move. And that mood carried over into tonight's game:

Nice! Classy moves by the Yankee organization. The unhinged libs will be triggered but whatevs -- that's bound to happen no matter what.
