White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci saved Mike Piazza's 9/11 jersey

This isn't the first time new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has been called on to try to save the day. 

Scaramucci was part of a group that bought Mike Piazza's game-worn, No. 31 New York Mets home jersey that he wore in the Sept. 21, 2001 game against the Atlanta Braves, the team’s first game back after 9/11. The group won bidding for $365,000.

The jersey was sold by the Mets to a collector three years before Scaramucci's group won the auction bid. Piazza, who hit a game-winning home run in the jersey, was upset the team had allowed it to be sold originally.

Scaramucci, who was at that Sept. 21 game at Shea Stadium and is a self-proclaimed huge Mets fan, and his group promised to display the jersey at the Mets' home at CitiField, the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York on a rotating basis.

After Scaramucci's group bought the jersey, Piazza tweeted: "Huge thanks to Anthony & Tony for coming through! My family & I couldn't be more pleased knowing the jersey will be where it belongs. Thank u!"
