Game 1 left a bitter taste in the mouth for the Arizona Diamondbacks who could do nothing to avoid defeat against the Texas Rangers even though they had the advantage for an important part of the game.

The national anthem is a proud tradition at Major League Baseball games, and the World Series is no exception. Over the years, some of the biggest names in music have had the honor of singing the anthem before the first pitch of a Fall Classic game.

In the early years of the World Series, it was common for local bands or choirs to perform the anthem. However, in recent decades, MLB has increasingly turned to professional singers to perform the anthem, particularly for the World Series.

Do singers get paid to perform the national anthem at the World Series?

Some singers have been paid to perform the national anthem at the World Series, while others have not. It is likely that the decision of whether or not to pay a singer to perform the anthem is made on a case-by-case basis, depending on the singer’s popularity and experience, as well as the budget of the MLB.
