My dad passed away 2 days after this, we watched the announcement in his hospital room. It was the last thing we cheered about together as a family. U.S.A.!!
I lost a close friend recently as well. No events of national or international significance relating to her passing, but with some of the memories associated with our friendship, I have some idea of how you feel. Now whenever anyone mentions this event, it'll be as though your father is speaking to you from beyond the grave saying something to the effect of "You're doing good, kid, and I'll always be proud of you."
How do we know he was killed? Was it really him? If so, he was unarmed, and had no one armed with him. So why kill him right away!! Take him alive, he’s a treasure trove of info! So then after killing him, the boys had ample time to retrieve his body and fly him out in helicopter!! Really! Then, dump his body in deep ocean somewhere! What!!! And the public are it up!! I mean that would make a hell of a Hollywood movie…..
how do you feel now knowing that this was a lie for an election & that bin l;aden died in a saudi hospice some months earlier from Kidney Failure ? All 11 staff that worked there also "fell out of a window" or "fell asleep on a plane " or were killed in some weird manner
I was at this game as a 14-year-old with my 11-year-old brother and our dad. I remember the word starting to spread in the crowd and people checking their phones. I remember the “USA!” chant breaking out. I’m getting chills now even writing this. Probably the most memorable game I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to well over 100 MLB games over the course of my life.
Turns out that the CIA funded Osama Bin Laden to go against the Russians in Afghanistan and then Bin Laden came after the US once the Russians were humiliated in Afghanistan .... AWESOME ... George Bush KNEW about this a launched a 20+ years war .... authorized by Congress, by FALSE INFORMATION ... Where are the WMDs? Eh George???? WHERE ARE THEY ???????? .... total debacle, failure and embarrassment that HILLARY and BIDEN SUPPORTED !!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your memory man. I remember I was walking down the street from school on 9/11. My dad was just coming home. He said “hey kids something happened in the US, turn on CNN”. And then I remember when years later, President Obama announced Bin Laden’s death. I don’t even live in the States, I’m in Belgium, Europe.
@shonen84 "watch CNN" is exactly the wrong thing to do. That's why you people think so poorly of America. That whole channel wants to destroy our country. Fox News too.
I was 11 at the time and the first we heard of it was a drunk guy behind us screaming “THEY KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN!” I remember my dad telling me, “Get a load of this guy.” Moments later, the entire stadium erupted in USA chants. I was too young to remember where I was on 9/11, but man I could point to my exact seat from this game still to this day.
Let's remember that it's the cultural Left which is always the aggressive enemy. They never can leave us alone. When Trump was president, there wasn't all this Drag Queen Story Hour crap. Grade school boys and girls were not told they could change sexes. We had far less illegal immigration. Wokeness wasn't really a Thing yet.
As a Mets Fan I was watching this game live with my College Roommate on ESPN in our Dorm Room! Out of nowhere my Roommate pointed out on the Highlights that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. All of a sudden, my mind quickly came off the game. So we muted the game on our Big TV and listened to the President's Speech on our other TV we had in our Room!

Yankees fan. Normally I would be rooting for the Phillies to beat the Mets, but that night there was only one choice to root for. Fate was kind to let a NY team be on center stage for this night.
This night was surreal because it took SO long to finally get rid of Bin Laden. I remember thinking, well it's about time. I also spent time thinking of all the lives that terrible man ended. It is strange to celebrate the killing of another, but this was a human that this world is better off without.

As a Braves fan...I hate to admit this bit of historical info...but not only did The Muts win the very first MLB game after 9/11 (when Bin Laden became a world wide figure)...but the also won the very last game of Bin Laden's life on Earth.
6:30 is where I cried. I hope we see many more moments like this on national TV in our lifetime. I thought we may never defeat Bin Laden because of how much he evaded the authorities, so it was just absolutely incredible to watch and listen to this unfold in real time.

@@scottsiegel5983 I just saw it and it was wonderful. The best one is "Perry Farrell announces Bin Laden is dead at Janes Addiction concert Buzzfest 26" It was great.
I was deployed to Afghanistan on Camp Leatherneck when this happened, I was in the gym working out with a buddy when we heard the crowd chanting USA on the TV we had on and they zoomed on to a Blackberry with the news article pulled up. It was really anticlimactic for all of us, every Marine paused and looked at each other for a few seconds. Then went back to working out as we knew tomorrow would be another day and sadly nothing was going to change.
As a vet, when The President came on TV and made the announcment, i came to my feet into the position of attention and held my salute as the tears rolled down my face. I don't even kniw how long i stood in that position but my wife walked in the room, asked me what i was doing. I told her what had just been announced. We both cried...
Same birthday here, but a few years earlier. I wasn’t old enough to remember/realize what was going on in 2001 and we had celebrated early that year. It was at least a few more years until I realized that my birthday was now a significant date
@@jimwertherI also have a grandson born on 9-11 in 2006 and I worked at the WTC on 9-11-2001. I have found that his birthday helps to shine some light on the darkness of that day.
Watched this game live, amazingly you could feel the news running thru the ballpark watching on the tube and it slowly turned into a giant celebration. U.S.A. forever!!!!
I remember being in the army when this happened. We had just got back from Afghanistan and the word was going around that we were getting the next day off. It was a Sunday night so we were happy even though we knew nothing about what was going on. Then all the news stations started talking about the President coming on for some speech. Then it hit us when we found out the news. Leadership were all out drinking and celebrating and no one wanted to come in for work lol. I didn't mind it. Me and the boys just stayed up all night playing COD, enjoying the night off as we knew we didn't have to go in for roll call at 5am.
@@thedeadbachelor 1. Have you researched the current status of said Alpha Team members? 2. Do you think that is proper protocol for a former intelligence member who was good friends with the leaders of previous administrations?
Baseball helped this country recover. I’m a New Yorker and a Mets fan for my entire life. I can tell you that when the Mets and Braves played that first game back in New York City after the 9/11 attacks, it started to feel like we were getting back to a little bit of normalcy. That night the Braves and the Mets were bitter rivals but also partners and teammates in the bigger picture. They knew it wasn’t about winning a baseball game. It was about distracting people from their shock and grief for a few hours to watch a baseball game. Even Chipper Jones said that he was happy when Piazza hit that home run. They didn’t want to lose the game but they wanted the Mets to win for their fans and this city. So if the players can all come together and unite against a common enemy and realize that we are all the same then so can the fans. Because when you take off those uniforms and those t shirts and hats we are all just human beings and American citizens. So that night the fans didn’t care who won. They were just united as one nation for a few minutes.
@@jimwerther I will pass that along to my (our) daughter as well. And God bless you & your family as well. May God always keep you safe, healthy & happy.
We may be divided. But when things get serious we come together. DO NOT mess with the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. I will always stand next to you no matter what race creed politics religion I don't care. United we stand.
I only wish the ones that keep trying to interrupt every time we try to come together by inserting their message of "yeah, but still the other side sucks and is to blame" should get called out for their real identities, not just disposable screen names.

We had been hit by a massive tornado outbreak just 4 days prior to this. We were still without power on May 1 and would not get it back for a few days yet. My home and neighborhood were damaged but our neighbors and community were really coming together. I had a generator which allowed me to run select groupings of appliances at a time. Running the TV and satellite made us favorites of the kids in the neighborhood so the parents followed. The kids would pile into our den and watch TV and the adults would circle the chairs in our driveway, share some drinks and laughs in spite of what we had endured a few days earlier. We knew people that lost everything, people that lost loved ones, my daughter was 8 at the time and lost a classmate. April 27 was a shitty day. We needed something. On the night of may 1, a neighbor excused herself from the driveway party and went to her house to use her restroom. A few minutes later she came bolting from her front door and was yelling "We got him! We got that son a bitch!" We all immediately knew what that meant. That set off a night long party in my driveway and all of the kids fell asleep in my den while watching TV. It was the best we had felt in a few days.

Theres no better place this could have happened than the birthplace of this country, in a game against the city that was the largest victim to Bin Laden's crimes. And rivals became brothers for a night. How perfect. How can you not be romantic about baseball?

The only thing that would have been even greater were if it were New York Yankees hosting the Boston Red Sox, the two biggest rivals on the planet.

This night was surreal because it took SO long to finally get rid of Bin Laden. I remember thinking, well it's about time. I also spent time thinking of all the lives that terrible man ended. It is strange to celebrate the killing of another, but this was a human that this world is better off without.

Announced on TV by a Canadian
It was interesting that.A Canadian announcer Dan Shulman was the announcer for this historic game.He later became the Blue Jays announcer.
Let’s all appreciate the hard work that goes into making these videos!
6:30 is where I cried. I hope we see many more moments like this on national TV in our lifetime. I thought we may never defeat Bin Laden because of how much he evaded the authorities, so it was just absolutely incredible to watch and listen to this unfold in real time.
I wish today we could unit that way. Sadly, I don’t think this is possible anymore.
don't let the (very) loud minority get in ya head
dont listen to the bull the news will tell you... that "major" pro hamas "riot" in chicago... i was there on a trip and i saw 80 protesters tops. The american dream is still alive and well
Social media has let the minority get louder. Normal people aren’t obnoxious with their opinions like they are
When we get a leader worthy of respect.
Appropriate the Mets were playing.

Turns out that the CIA funded Osama Bin Laden to go against the Russians in Afghanistan and then Bin Laden came after the US once the Russians were humiliated in Afghanistan .... AWESOME ... George Bush KNEW about this a launched a 20+ years war .... authorized by Congress, by FALSE INFORMATION ... Where are the WMDs? Eh George???? WHERE ARE THEY ???????? .... total debacle, failure and embarrassment that HILLARY and BIDEN SUPPORTED !!!!!!!
Now imagine if we all came together again and stayed together. Imagine the things we could accomplish. We need to stop letting politics and the media divide us. Come together as Americans.
Remember how united we were, no left or right. Wish we could get back there
We can if we decide to
We were divided back then. The difference was that we knew how to come together
I was a seat vendor at US Cellular Field in Chicago. I was selling hot chocolate. Every time I would make a sale, I would tell the customer," Osama Bin Laden isn't going to drink hot chocolate". It was one of the happiest most patriotic days of my life.

If you want just a tiny bit more excitement, check out John Cena announcing it during Extreme Rules.
@@scottsiegel5983 I just saw it and it was wonderful. The best one is "Perry Farrell announces Bin Laden is dead at Janes Addiction concert Buzzfest 26" It was great.
Real ones know that John Cena actually broke the news before anyone lol
I was deployed to Afghanistan on Camp Leatherneck when this happened, I was in the gym working out with a buddy when we heard the crowd chanting USA on the TV we had on and they zoomed on to a Blackberry with the news article pulled up. It was really anticlimactic for all of us, every Marine paused and looked at each other for a few seconds. Then went back to working out as we knew tomorrow would be another day and sadly nothing was going to change.
Thank you for always putting a smile on faces. The content is pure joy.
As a vet, when The President came on TV and made the announcment, i came to my feet into the position of attention and held my salute as the tears rolled down my face. I don't even kniw how long i stood in that position but my wife walked in the room, asked me what i was doing. I told her what had just been announced. We both cried...
Reading that made me tear up. Thank you for your service. 🙏🏻
Our daughters were born on the afternoon on 9/11/2001 in San Diego CA, identical twin girls, never celebrated birthdays that date.
Wow they were born on that tragic day I am sooo sorry I was at this very game it was my first ever Phillies game
Same birthday here, but a few years earlier. I wasn’t old enough to remember/realize what was going on in 2001 and we had celebrated early that year. It was at least a few more years until I realized that my birthday was now a significant date
I am now old enough to have a grandchild. Born 09.11.23. Now what?
Why it's her birthday. Nothing affects her from 9/11
@@jimwertherI also have a grandson born on 9-11 in 2006 and I worked at the WTC on 9-11-2001. I have found that his birthday helps to shine some light on the darkness of that day.
Watched this game live, amazingly you could feel the news running thru the ballpark watching on the tube and it slowly turned into a giant celebration. U.S.A. forever!!!!
He said on the campaign trail if he was elected president he would make it a priority to take him out...and he did.
I remember being in the army when this happened. We had just got back from Afghanistan and the word was going around that we were getting the next day off. It was a Sunday night so we were happy even though we knew nothing about what was going on. Then all the news stations started talking about the President coming on for some speech. Then it hit us when we found out the news. Leadership were all out drinking and celebrating and no one wanted to come in for work lol.
I didn't mind it. Me and the boys just stayed up all night playing COD, enjoying the night off as we knew we didn't have to go in for roll call at 5am.

I was on Facebook when this happened. I remember my timeline going crazy with the news.
Baseball helped this country recover. I’m a New Yorker and a Mets fan for my entire life. I can tell you that when the Mets and Braves played that first game back in New York City after the 9/11 attacks, it started to feel like we were getting back to a little bit of normalcy. That night the Braves and the Mets were bitter rivals but also partners and teammates in the bigger picture. They knew it wasn’t about winning a baseball game. It was about distracting people from their shock and grief for a few hours to watch a baseball game. Even Chipper Jones said that he was happy when Piazza hit that home run. They didn’t want to lose the game but they wanted the Mets to win for their fans and this city. So if the players can all come together and unite against a common enemy and realize that we are all the same then so can the fans. Because when you take off those uniforms and those t shirts and hats we are all just human beings and American citizens. So that night the fans didn’t care who won. They were just united as one nation for a few minutes.

I live in Tampa Bay area so I am more shocked at how many people are at a baseball game, the Rays barely fill more than 2 rows of seats.... 😂😂🤣🤣. That being said, this was a time when we were actually united as a country. Sad where we are at today, really sad.

@@bradleybrown8399 Yes, I know they play well, which is why they're bad for sports. Whether it's the Stanley Cup or World Series, when those teams are in them, nobody cares, nobody watches. Especially the Rays. People want to see the Yankees or Red Sox in the World Series, not Tampa Bay. The Stanley Cup could be GREAT this year, if the Rangers get there against either Edmonton or Dallas (I prefer Edmonton). The Florida Panthers are the only one of the four teams left that can F things up, so I fully expect that to happen. It seems like hockey always has a boring Finals, with these former expansion teams, that nobody cares about.
Sidetalk would be nuts if it existed back then.

Dan Shulman is an incredible play by play announcer. He is missed on ESPN baseball.
We had been hit by a massive tornado outbreak just 4 days prior to this. We were still without power on May 1 and would not get it back for a few days yet. My home and neighborhood were damaged but our neighbors and community were really coming together. I had a generator which allowed me to run select groupings of appliances at a time. Running the TV and satellite made us favorites of the kids in the neighborhood so the parents followed. The kids would pile into our den and watch TV and the adults would circle the chairs in our driveway, share some drinks and laughs in spite of what we had endured a few days earlier. We knew people that lost everything, people that lost loved ones, my daughter was 8 at the time and lost a classmate. April 27 was a shitty day. We needed something. On the night of may 1, a neighbor excused herself from the driveway party and went to her house to use her restroom. A few minutes later she came bolting from her front door and was yelling "We got him! We got that son a bitch!" We all immediately knew what that meant. That set off a night long party in my driveway and all of the kids fell asleep in my den while watching TV. It was the best we had felt in a few days.
One of my bros woke me up to tell me we got him, we watched Team America the day before... coincidence... I think not.

I remembered watching a hockey game after 9/11 when the game stopped so that everyone watched the president's speech. It happened in Philadelphia too.
Theres no better place this could have happened than the birthplace of this country, in a game against the city that was the largest victim to Bin Laden's crimes. And rivals became brothers for a night. How perfect. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
This is, possibly, the most amount of people ever to celebrate to hear of the death of someone.
Did they put it up on the big screen at the stadium though!?
