New York City — In a rare show of unity, the New York Yankees and New York Mets unveiled a new partnership yesterday aimed at promoting youth baseball and softball across the city. The initiative, Baseball for All, will invest $15 million in renovating community fields, providing free equipment, and funding sports clinics for underserved neighborhoods.
“This is about giving back to the city that loves baseball,” said Yankees captain Aaron Judge at the press conference. Mets star Pete Alonso echoed the sentiment, calling the program “a home run for our kids.”
The collaboration comes as both teams enjoy strong seasons, with the Mets leading the NL East and the Yankees battling for the AL Wild Card spot.
