As America paused to remember the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, many baseball players, past and present, took to twitter to express their feelings about the day that changed history:
9/11 will FOREVER be etched in our hearts. Bless the families of those we lost and be thankful for ALL who fight so that we may be free. USA

We were in Pittsburgh for 9-11. Always remember the 11 hour bus ride home. No words when we crossed George Wash. Bridge. No Towers to see.
