Show Notes
Todd Zeile joins the show to reflect on one of the most emotional moments in New York sports history — the Mets’ return to Shea Stadium after 9/11.
From the silent bus ride over the George Washington Bridge… to the first sporting event back in NYC… to the decision to defy MLB and wear NYPD and FDNY hats… Todd shares powerful behind-the-scenes memories of how baseball became part of the healing process.
He also discusses his upcoming documentary project on how baseball changed America following 9/11, and why the events of 2001 remain the most meaningful part of his legacy.
This is more than baseball. This is New York. This is never forget.
