Author: FOX News Radio April 6, 2026 Duration: 17:53
After the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001, New York was searching for hope. Just days later, with smoke still rising from Ground Zero, Major League Baseball resumed its season. Former New York Mets relief pitcher John Franco recently joined FOX News Rundown host Chris Foster to discuss how America's pastime helped the nation recover in the days and weeks after 9/11. He also shared how he has continued to honor first responders since that day and discussed the new FOX Nation documentary, “Never Forget: How Baseball Helped New York Heal.” Franco also talked a little baseball and weighed in on some of the rule changes the sport has made recently. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.
