Mets Release "11 Days In September" Documentary on 9/11 Relief Effort At Shea

 

On Thursday, the 24th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, the Mets released a documentary on the team's relief efforts called "11 Days In September."

Presented by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, the film highlights the many stories in the days after, and the pivotal role Shea Stadium, and Mets uniform personnel and employees at the time, played in the recovery.

"11 Days in September" features behind-the-scenes moments that underscore the Mets' support for the city's healing process, and has firsthand accounts from current and former employees, including the 2001 Mets Manager Bobby Valentine, and players Mike Piazza, Todd Zeile, John Franco, and Al Leiter.

The documentary can be viewed on the Mets YouTube channel by clicking here.
