What a thrill for Scotty McCreery! He sang the National Anthem tonight at the 1st game of the World Series in St. Louis as the Cardinals faced off against the Texas Rangers.
It was a bit touch and go for a moment, as Scotty began the Anthem, without a working mic! Oh noes. Poor Scotty. He was able to start over, however, and not missing a beat, performed a twangy, heartfelt rendition of the National Anthem.
Sharing the field with him as he sang were the 2nd and 1st ladies of the United States, Jill Biden and Michele Obama of the United States. The man with his little girl standing in the center was a soldier who had been injured in Iraq, but despite his severe injuries was one of the 1st responders to the tornado relief effort in Joplin MO.
