Overview

  • President Donald Trump attended the Yankees–Tigers game on Sept. 11 after a Pentagon remembrance earlier in the day, taking part in the stadium’s pregame commemoration.
  • Before first pitch, he visited the Yankees’ clubhouse, greeted players including Aaron Judge, referenced his ties to George Steinbrenner, and predicted the team would “go all the way.”
  • Security measures included gates opening three hours early, TSA-style screening, a strict small‑bag policy urged by the Secret Service, and protective glass around the suite area.
  • Authorities had moved the Pentagon observance indoors as a precaution, and flags at Yankee Stadium flew at half‑staff after Trump issued an executive order honoring Charlie Kirk.
  • Fans offered both cheers and boos when Trump appeared on the jumbotron, as chants of “USA” punctuated a night that also continued his run of high‑profile sports appearances in 2025.
