Last night all eyes were on Yankee Stadium as the Yankees honored all those heroes from 9-11. Their social media spoke of what was broadcast through the stadium in a pregame ceremony saying, "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."
President Trump was scheduled to make an appearance at the game when the Yankees hosted the Tigers in honor of September 11, 2001, but after Kirk many wondering if he would show up.
Not only did Trump keep to his schedule he was greeted with a loud and boisterous crowd chanting USA, USA over and over.
Before the game Trump was invited into the Yankees' locker room. He shook hands with the players and staff and spoke highly of the late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. Trump called him "a great friend of mine, the whole family."
The President then shook hands with Aaron Judge and Trump who stands at 6'3" looked small compared to the monstrous slugger. Trump commented on Judge's playing saying "when you have that much muscle you have to hit the ball hard." Then he continued saying that the Yankee captain was "a fantastic player. An unbelievable player."
Trump predicted the Yankees would win the game and saying he was a good luck charm. He said, "We won every time I came. You're gonna win."
The player that Trump was talking so highly about took matters into his own hands. The Yankee Captain hit a first inning home run and then another in the 3rd. Trump was indeed a good luck charm as an emotional Yankee Stadium got to watch a nice, comfortable 9-3 Yankee victory.
