The 2023 World Series is more than just baseball. It’s a combination of many things that make it a perfect event, including the people who sing the national anthem before each game. Fans are eager to know who these performers are.

In Game 2, everyone was impressed by 17-year-old Pearle Peterson, whose impeccable voice captivated the audience as she sang the national anthem to kick off what would become a series-tying game between the Rangers and Diamondbacks.

So far, three women have sung the national anthem at the 2023 World Series. The first performer in Game 1 was also a woman, known as H.E.R. (Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson).
