Nothing beats summer baseball.
MLB paid homage to the iconic fireworks scene from “The Sandlot” by recreating the masterpiece at Citizens Bank Park during the All-Star Game.
The recreated spectacle started with the playing of Ray Charles’ famous “America the Beautiful” for the entire Philadelphia crowd before children in Phillies jerseys peeked through a gate in the fence along the right field foul line.

Excellent show except for the two women who sang....horrible!!!!! I think there was another one but before I found the game on TV...lucky me. The one in the red dress was the WORST!!! There “oughta” be a law - LOL I’d take listening to Roseanne Barr any day over those two....
I ignored the propaganda stuff sounded like an advertisement and it has some weird religious sounding like the word “permanence” as opposed to nostalgia. Reminds me of the “Olympic Movement” crap. Ray Charles was great. The kids on bikes was interesting as i did not make the connection to the movie. And the guy with the Harper shirt was hanging out with Marsh.

There “oughta” be a law - LOL I’d take listening to Roseanne Barr any day over those two....>>> The second one was Patty LaBelle, a philly local, and she was not as bad as the first one which i just automatically shut the TV off. I do that for most of the SSB singers. They all suck.
I watched (only) that part of game...it was great.
I thought I was prepared but they were worse than I thought they would be... Very rare to hear the National Anthem the way it was meant to be sing/sang/sung (pick one)....they might try learning to read music and perhaps then they’d understand the way the tune was written....can’t improve on the original.
Patty LaBelle wasn’t AS bad but I could do without her also..and the WARDROBE! Gotta have attention..almost like “close your eyes, open the closet door, pick something), dress and GO!!
IT WAS INCREDIBLE LIVE! mlb did America proud!
