Before he died responding to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks at the World Trade Center, Brian McAleese, a New York City firefighter and father of four, often shopped at the Key Food supermarket in Brooklyn where Artie Bentley worked for nearly 40 years.
Twenty years later, Bentley wore Brian's name on a baseball hat as he headed to Citi Field on Saturday to watch his New York Mets take on their crosstown rival New York Yankees following a ceremony marking the occasion.With flags around the stadium flying at half-staff, members of the city's first responder agencies, as well as former Mets players who contributed to the relief efforts, encircled the field before the game.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, Mike Piazza, the Mets' star catcher, slammed a dramatic home run to propel New York to a win and give the crowd a moment of joy after days of devastation and sorrow. As they did in 2001, many of the Mets and Yankees players wore baseball hats bearing the logos of the New York City police and fire departments and other first responder agencies.
Leylah Fernandez, the 19-year-old Canadian who lost to fellow teen Emma Raducanu of Britain, saluted the city after the final.
