AN MLB broadcaster has decided on whether to censor any possible negative reaction to Donald Trump when he’s seated at the New York Yankees game on Thursday night.
President Trump will make the trip to Yankee Stadium to mark the 24th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terror attracks.

Trump will attend a memorial event at the Pentagon in northern Virginia.
The commander-in-chief will then travel to the Bronx, where the Yankees will host the Detroit Tigers.
Trump’s visit comes after the President has attended other high-profile sporting events, including last weekend’s US Open men’s final.
His arrival led to a delay in the tennis event, but all eyes were on the broadcast.
Broadcasters ordered to censor any reactions to Trump from the crowd, per the Daily Mail.
It has now been revealed that YES Network, the broadcaster of the Yankees, hasn’t been informed to censor any Trump protests during Thursday’s game, the Mail reported.
“The YES Network has not been instructed to censor any reactions,” a statement sent to the outlet read.
Last week, the day before Carlos Alcaraz’s finals win over Jannik Skinner, the United States Association sent out an email to broadcasters, including ESPN and Sky Sports, and asked them to “refrain” from displaying reactions to Trump’s attendance.
“With respect to Broadcast Coverage, the President will be shown on the World Feed and the Ashe Court Feed during the opening anthem ceremony,” the email read.
“We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity.”
A little over 30 minutes before the beginning of Sunday’s final, Trump arose from his private suite at Arthur Ashe Stadium and was greeted with cheers and boos from the fans in attendance.
At the time, thousands of fans had yet to enter the venue due to intense security measures, leading to plenty of empty seats for the start of the final.
The Yankees have encouraged fans to arrive early due to the enhanced security measures at Yankee Stadium.
The stadium gates are set to open at 4:00 pm ET, three hours before the scheduled first pitch.

The gates usually open 75 minutes before game time.
Street closures and limited parking are also expected.
Fans are encouraged to use mass transit.
The Yankees will also hold a pregame ceremony to recognize the victims and heroes of 9/11.
