Yankees & WFAN are True Blue in Support of NYPD

The New York Yankees and WFAN held a charity softball game at Yankee Stadium called True Blue, in support of the families of three three fallen New York Police Department officers.

The families of Wenjian Liu, Rafael Ramos, and Brian Moore were in attendance. “Boomer and Carton” hosts Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton were the hosts of the evening, which featured four games between the celebrities and police officers. Many New York-area celebrities, like former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Yankees legends Joe Torre, Bernie Williams, and Willie Randolph, New York Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin, New York Jets Head Coach Todd Bowles, and Buffalo Bills Head Coach Rex Ryan.
