The new documentary, presented by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, follows the impact that Shea Stadium, Mets employees and players had on the relief efforts immediately after 9/11.
FLUSHING, N.Y., September 11, 2025 – The New York Mets released a new documentary today called “11 Days in September”, presented by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The film highlights untold stories of the days following the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York and the pivotal role Shea Stadium and Mets uniform personnel and employees at the time played in the relief efforts.
“11 Days in September” features behind-the-scenes moments that underscore the Mets’ support for the city’s healing process, and how 24 years ago, Shea Stadium became a recovery hub, as a group of people came together for the sake of others. The film includes firsthand accounts from current and former employees, as well as Mets alumni including Bobby Valentine, Mike Piazza, Todd Zeile, John Franco and Al Leiter.
The documentary is available on the Mets YouTube channel here.
