On September 9, during a game between the New York Yankees and the New York Mets at Yankee Stadium, outfielder Cody Bellinger hit a three-run home run to give the Yankees a lead. The game honored the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with both teams wearing special caps honoring FDNY, NYPD, and other first responders.
However, the event was interrupted when a fan carrying a Palestinian flag ran onto the field at exactly 9:11 p.m. Yankee Stadium security quickly tackled the intruder. While details about how he accessed the field were not immediately clear, video showed fans reacting with drinks thrown and loud "U-S-A" chants as security removed him from the field.
Play resumed shortly after the incident, which occurred during a significant commemorative event for both teams and baseball players across the league. The Yankees ultimately won the game 6-4 over the Mets.
