**Trump to Attend Yankees Game on 9/11 Anniversary**
Former President Donald Trump is set to attend a New York Yankees game on September 11, marking the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The Yankees, currently competing in the AL East, will face off against the Detroit Tigers, who lead the AL Central, in what could be a preview of the postseason.
While Trump has participated in various sporting events over the years, this will be his first baseball game during his second term. In 2019, he attended Game 5 of the World Series between the Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros, and he was also present at the Astros-Braves World Series in 2021, following his loss in the 2020 election.
In 2020, Trump had planned to throw the first pitch at a Yankees game, but the event was canceled due to the pandemic. Before his political career, he attended Game 7 of the National League Championship Series between the New York Mets and the St. Louis Cardinals at Shea Stadium.
Recently, Trump has been involved with UFC events, with fights scheduled on the White House Lawn on July 4, 2026, to celebrate the United States’ 250th birthday. The Yankees reached the World Series last year but were defeated by the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.
Next year, the Yankees and Mets will play a game at Yankee Stadium on September 11 to honor the 25th anniversary of 9/11, similar to an event held in 2021 at Citi Field, where the Mets wore special “New York” uniforms.
Sources indicate that Vice President JD Vance will represent the administration at a commemoration ceremony at Ground Zero, while Trump is expected to attend a memorial event at the Pentagon earlier that day. Additionally, Trump has announced plans to attend the Ryder Cup in New York on September 26, following his appearance at the FIFA Club World Cup championship in July.
