In what has become an annual tradition whenever the Yankees play at home on Sept. 11, manager Aaron Boone was joined by multiple players — this time, pitchers Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón — in placing a wreath on the monument commemorating the 2001 terrorist attacks in Monument Park.
“Really meaningful,” Boone said before Thursday’s 9-3 win over the Tigers at the Stadium. “I’ve gotten to do that now a few times when we’ve been here. So to get to walk out there with Gerrit and Carlos and just really, I mean, take in an amazing monument, and really see the Pentagon, and see the Twin Towers and the police dogs and the firemen all kind of honored on there. You know, it hits home.”
