"What you are about to watch is the most amazing display of kindness, humanity and patriotism that I have seen in a very long time. It’s Disabilities Awareness Day at Fenway Park. This man with Autism, who was chosen to sing the National Anthem, got a case of the giggles half way through. Listen to how the crowd reacts."

Wish they did that all the time no matter who was on the mic.

no way, if you dont have autism (or something else like that) and you forget the words or fuck up you should get boooooooooed.

I think Edgy meant that crowds should always sing it like that regardless of who the mic is in front of not whether or not they remember the words.

my fault. yeah its fine if the crowd sings it, but the comment about shlubs who dont know it still stands. i kow you don't get that too often at Shea but i used to see it all the time at minor league games.
