President Donald Trump was greeted by boos and cheers while attending a baseball game at New York City’s Yankee Stadium on Sept. 11.
The president did not participate in pregame ceremonies honoring victims and first responders of the 2001 terrorist attacks but he was the first face to appear on the big screen during the national anthem, according to The Athletic.
Though Trump himself was met with a mixture of jeers and applause, the evening was brimming with patriotic energy overall.
Chants of “USA” echoed through the Bronx stadium before the first pitch and erupted once again when the Yankees’ star slugger Aaron Judge hit a home run during his first inning at-bat against the Detroit Tigers.
Before Trump made his way to a VIP box to watch the game, he stopped by the Yankees’ clubhouse, where Fox News captured him telling the team, “You’re going to win, you’re going to go all the way, and you’ll get in the playoff.”
