New York Yankees Do Good, Post 9-11




OK, some positive now. While touring Yankee Stadium last summer the tour concluded in Monument Park, out beyond left field. In Monument Park are plaques dedicated to the greats, both Baseball Greats and Yankee Greats. There amongst the retired numbers was this memorial plaque to the "eternal spirit of the innocent victims" and the "selfless courage shown by both public servants and private citizens" on 9-11-2001. It reads:

We Remember
On September 11, 2001, despicable acts of terrorism were
perpetrated on our country.
In tribute to the eternal spirit of the innocent victims of these
crimes and to the selfless courage shown by both public
servants and private citizens, we dedicate this plaque.
These valiant souls, with unfettered resolve, exemplify the true
character of this great nation. Their unity and resilience during
this time of distress defined American heroism for
future generations.
Dedicated by the New York Yankees
