The singing of the national anthem is a fixture before all major sporting events, including MLB's annual Home Run Derby.
American country singer-songwriter Ingrid Andress sang the American anthem before the festivities kicked off in Arlington, Texas - and delivered an interesting performance that drew hilarious reactions.
