“September 11, 2001, will forever be remembered as a day that profoundly impacted New York, the nation, and the world, evoking deep shock, grief, and an extraordinary sense of solidarity. In New York, sports emerged as a powerful force for unity, offering hope and a return to normalcy. Across the U.S., sporting events provided a space for collective mourning, honoring the victims, and bringing communities together during a time of immense sorrow," said Pitaro. "The team at ESPN was honored to collaborate with the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York on both the Comeback Season: Sports After 9/11 exhibit and the E60 special.”
