September 11 2001 to some feels like a lifetime ago a tragic and horrible day in American history that is taught in schools and written about in history books. To others the date feels like yesterday a terrifying and simultaneously solemn day when our country was attacked and thousands of innocent people were ruthlessly murdered. Regardless it is a day that provokes the most vivid memories and reactions from those who were alive and aware of the events of that horrible day. What is often forgotten is the ensuing chaos that was made out of day-to-day life in the aftermath of that day. The immense sense of loss felt by most Americans was immediately followed by a tremendous desire to help and a rejection of the things that seemed important just a day before. Entertainment and more specifically sporting events simply were unimportant. September 11 was a Tuesday which meant that Major League Baseball had a full schedule of games planned for that day. Commissioner Bud Selig wisely cancelled all the games for that day later cancelling all the games for the week while the country reeled from the loss. Amidst cries of "getting back to some semblance of normalcy " baseball resumed the following week each game preceded by emotional memorial and remembrance services even as volunteers helped first responders continue to dig through the burning wreckage of the World Trade Center. On September 11 the Yankees were scheduled to face the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium. During the week that baseball games were postponed the team and its players each responded to the tragedy in their own way the Yankees chartering three buses to bring players to the New York Armory to meet with grieving families. Widely reported in the media at the time the players provided emotional support to the city and continued to do so through the conclusion of the season and the team's eventual loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in one of the most dramatic and important World Series in history. The September 11 game was eventually played the following week September 18. The Yankees responded with a dramatic rout of the Chicago White Sox an 11-3 victory that included home runs from Alfonso Soriano and fan favorite Shane Spencer (in the midst of a September tear) and seven strong shutout innings from Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez. Presented here are a stub and full ticket from the original September 11 game.
