NEW YORK (AP) – A new exhibit at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum highlights the impact of sports after the 2001 attacks, including the Mets’ win in New York’s first major sporting event after 9/11.

”Comeback Season: Sports After 9/11” explores how sports helped unite the country and features interviews with athletes such as Hall of Fame catcher Mike Piazza.

”In that first game back, the home team came back and won,” said Piazza, whose two-run homer for the Mets in the eighth inning on Sept. 21, 2001, lifted the team past Atlanta. ”That’s exactly the lesson the city, the country and the world needed to see that night.”

Carol Gies attended that game with her three sons and celebrated the moment in the stands. Her firefighter husband, Lt. Ronnie Gies, died in the attacks on the World Trade Center.

”When that ball went over the wall, I saw my children smile for the very first time since they lost their dad,” she said in an oral history recording.

The exhibit covers various sports Carlton Davis Jersey Buccaneers , including football, hockey, basketball, soccer, NASCAR, the New York City Marathon and the 2002 Winter Olympics. The story is told in nine chapters, using archival sports footage and testimonies from athletes, coaches and 9/11 families.

It opens with the U.S. Open final of Venus vs. Serena Williams on the weekend before the attacks. It moves through the cancellation of events, including the first stoppage of Major League Baseball since the death of President Franklin Roosevelt in 1945.

The Mets’ and Giants‘ stadiums were used as recovery and supply sites after the attacks. Piazza’s jersey, his batting helmet with ”NYPD” taped on the back and John Franco’s FDNY hat are on display.

So is Pat Tillman’s Army Ranger uniform, on loan from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tillman, an Arizona Cardinal player http://www.eaglesauthorizedshops.com/authentic-markus-wheaton-jersey , enlisted after 9/11 and died in Afghanistan.

New York Rangers Mike Richter, Eric Lindros and Mark Messier are pictured during a visit to thank rescue workers at ground zero on Sept. 16.

There’s a quote from Mets manager Bobby Valentine: ”When we went down there the first time, you could still smell it. You could still feel it. You could see the filth on the faces of the workers. When they saw us, their faces lit up. You could see their teeth through their black masks.”

A letter from 10-year-old Brielle Saracini to Derek Jeter dated Sept. 14 is on display. She explains to her favorite player that her father, Victor Saracini, was a pilot of hijacked Flight 175 that crashed into the south tower. Soon after, Jeter called to invite Brielle, her sister and mother to a game.

In the World Series, the Yankees hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks among heightened security for Games 3, 4, 5 at Yankee Stadium, just 14 miles from ground zero. Video shows Jeter hitting a walk-off home run in Game 4 and jumping into the arms of teammates at home plate.

Michael Jordan is pictured with members of the military before a Washington Wizards vs. Knicks game at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 30. Jordan had pledged his entire year’s salary to the 9/11 relief effort.

”Through the lens of sports Harold Landry Color Rush Jersey , this exhibition celebrates the strength of the human spirit and our capacity to come together and support one another through unimaginable grief,” 9/11 Memorial & Museum President Alice M. Greenwald said. ”This story provides additional points of entry into the complex story of 9/11 to better understand our history and the impact it had on our world today, to reflect on our own lived memories from that time and to feel inspired by stories about the best of humanity.”

The exhibit was sponsored in part through the support of the Anheuser-Busch Foundation, MLB, the New York Mets and their chief operating officer, Jeff Wilpon. It runs through the summer of 2019.

Former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant has been available on the free agent market for nearly four months, but we know one superstar who would love to have the three-time Pro Bowler on his team.Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver Antonio Brown took to Twitter and suggested that Bryant join him in the Steel City.Come play with me @DezBryant let鈥檚 get the chip..........Eat Greedy......Big plates.......— Antonio Brown (@AB84) July 29, 2018Bryant was released by the Cowboys in April after eight seasons with the team, and he's somehow remained unsigned ever since. Though he turns 30 in November and has been slowed down by injuries over the last three seasons, Bryant can produce big numbers, and he'd certainly fit with the Steelers.The Steelers own the best offensive trio in the NFL, led by Brown Rashaad Penny Youth Jersey , future Hall of Famer quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the game's top running back in Le'Veon Bell. Throw in the emergence of speedy receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, and the Steelers offense is loaded with talent.Pittsburgh doesn't necessarily need Bryant, but it wouldn't hurt to add a red zone threat to their offense. At 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, Bryant is difficult to cover for most cornerbacks, and he'd be an excellent complement to both Brown and Smith-Schuster.Bryant has also been linked to the San Francisco 49ers, who could use more pass-catching help to complement quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. But thus far, the 49ers have yet to show they're anywhere close to pondering the idea of signing Bryant. Pre-season isn't far away, and some NFL teams will get desperate enough to the point where they'll start calling Bryant. He may not quite be your 1,000-yard receiver anymore, but Bryant showed in both 2016 and '17 that there is lots of football left in him.It'd be quite the duo of Brown and Bryant if the Steelers opted to go down that path. We know No. 84 wants it to happen, but it remains to be seen if the front office feels the same way..
