Heres a little trivia, When was the Star Spangled Banner first sung at a Baseball game?
Originally posted by the Baseball Almanac"During the "7th-inning stretch" in Game 1 of the World Series, a military band played "The Star Spangled Banner" as a tribute to all servicemen on leave and in attendance. From then on, the song was played at every World Series outing and every season opener (though it was not yet adopted as the national anthem). The custom of playing it before every game began during WWII, after the installation of stadium speaker systems made it more feasible."
Babe Ruth also had two wins as a pitcher for the SOX in the 1918 World Series,Games 1 and 4.
I saw the Bucco's and the Red Sox at Turn back the Clock Night at PNC park, Although it was a night game, They turned off the Scoreboard, and PA system. And all the players were dressed in Vintage 1918? Uniforms. It was really great, probably the best Pirates game I ever saw.
