Cal Ripkens record breaking, 2,131st Consecutive game. Introduction of Star Spangled Banner by Bruce Hornsby and Branford Marsalis! Most Beautiful rendition EVER! September 6, 1995.
I wish this video was available in better quality. No offense to the uploader of course, but just think about what this would sound like if it were better quality. This brings me to tears every time I listen to it.
This rendition sounds like something you would hear at a fallen war hero's funeral. Simple, yet beautiful. The anthem should be performed like this every time it's played.
@zcatera074 Me too. They keep talking about Andy MacPhail retiring, if cheap-ass lawyer-owner Angelos wanted to do the right thing, he would hire Cal to replace Andy, and not stretch Buck too thin.
This was as sweet as they come. Done in a respectful way. The ending gave me chills. They did another version at the 1991 N.B.A. All-Star game, as good, but this was an instant classic. I have this one V.H.S. Thanks for down-loading this classic song.
This version of the National Anthem is on the CD Baseball by Ken Burns. I found it a while back. If this doesn't give you chills nothing will!!!!!!!!!!
Also liked how they stopped to let the fans cheer OOOOOOO's!!!

Thanks for being a Cal fan. You should at least get a tripod stand. For $29 your videos become tons better immediately.

If you're like me and have been looking for this clip for years, I don't care if it comes from a comic book
