Ahead of Game Three of the World Series presented by Capital One, Major League Baseball together with the New York Yankees hosted a World Series Legacy event at ONE WORLD MIDDLE SCHOOL AT EDENWALD in the Bronx. Through MLB Together, and combined with matching funds from the Yankees Foundation, $50,000 will be provided to One World Middle School to create a sensory-safe space at the school to serve all students, including those who are neurodivergent. Students were joined by the 2024 Roberto Clemente Award recipient, Salvador Perez, former Yankees All-Star pitcher Dellin Betances, Luis Clemente and Roberto Clemente Jr., to celebrate the announcement of this new space and the recognition of students. The New York Yankees established a relationship with One World Middle School earlier this year to collaborate on the redesign of a sensory room at Yankee Stadium, which opened officially during Game One of the ALDS. The goal of this space was to create greater access for baseball fans whose neurodivergence or other needs might make the stimulation of the stadium difficult to navigate. Ambassadors of the NEST program from One World Middle School, along with their families and some of their teachers, helped to create the vision and development of this space which can now be utilized within Yankee Stadium. #MLBTogether
