Extra security measures were in place Thursday at Yankee Stadium when President Donald Trump was in attendance to watch the New York Yankees oppose the Detroit Tigers on 9/11.
Before the game, Trump visited the Yankees' clubhouse and spoke with players and club employees.
'You're going to win, you're going to go all the way,' Trump, a New York native, told the Yankees.
The president then went up to a suite, where he saluted as the national anthem was sung before the start of the game.
The presidential visit came a day after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in Utah. Glass was added to the front of the suite where Trump sat, and police and Secret Service were a major presence around the stadium.
The Yankees conducted their annual remembrance of 9/11, saying in a statement that they 'remember those we lost, the heroism of all who bravely sacrificed their own lives to save others, and those who died from illnesses obtained at Ground Zero. Their spirit lives on today with our First Responders and all who serve our communities and our country.'
Yankees pitchers Carlos Rodon and Gerrit Cole and manager Aaron Boone laid a wreath at the 9/11 monument in the stadium's Monument Park.
'That was really meaningful,' Boone said. 'I've gotten to do that now a few times when we've been here, so to get to walk out there with Gerrit and Carlos to take in an amazing monument -- you see the Pentagon, the Twin Towers, the police dogs and the firemen all honored on there. It hits home.'
The Yankees' uniformed personnel wore hats honoring the New York police and fire departments.
