Brielle Saracini and Sean McGuire throw ceremonial pitch at Yankees game

Brielle Saracini and Sean McGuire threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a New York Yankees game on September 11, 2026. The event marked the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, which claimed the lives of both their fathers. Saracini is the daughter of Victor Saracini, the captain of United Flight 175, while McGuire is the son of Patrick McGuire, who worked in the South Tower. The couple met at a camp for children who lost parents on 9/11 and married in 2017. Their appearance took place during an emotional pregame ceremony that included several former Yankees players. Manager Aaron Boone and members of the team also visited local fire stations to mark the anniversary.
