The National Anthem before the Home Run Derby was, uh, something else:

Oh man, lol. That was quite the rendition! Made Fergie’s NBA performance sound like a choir of angels. Made Carl Lewis sound like Luther Vandross.
The performer is 32 year old Ingrid Andress. No relation to Ursula. According to the always-trustworthy Wikipedia, she is an “American country music singer-songwriter. Her breakthrough single, “More Hearts Than Mine” peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her single “The Stranger” peaked at number 49 on Country Airplay and her single “Wishful Drinking” became her second entry on the Billboard Hot 100.”
I’ll tell ya what didn’t land on the Billboard Hot 100. That national anthem. Heyo! Sounded like a University of Alabama sorority girl doing karaoke after a win and many hits from Cypress Hill’s bong. Roll Tide!
