The country singer performed the national anthem ahead of the only two 18-inning games in championship history<\/p>\n
\n\tWhen Brad Paisley<\/a> sings, baseball goes the distance. <\/p>\n \n\tOn Monday night, the country singer performed the national anthem for the thousands of fans gathered at Dodger Stadium who had come to witness Game 3 of the World Series<\/a> as the Los Angeles Dodgers battled the Toronto Blue Jays. The night would turn out to be a record-tying 18th inning game that saw the Dodgers take the win and a brief lead before the Jays returned for Game 4 on Tuesday, securing a\u00a06-2 victory.\u00a0 <\/p>\n \n\tIt was the fourth time that Paisley\u2019s guitar preceded extra innings, as the musician sang the anthem for the World Series three times prior in Los Angeles including Game 2 in 2017 that led to 11 innings, Game 3 in 2018 with 18 innings, and Game 1 in 2024 at 10 innings. His latest performance also marked one of two of the longest marathons in World Series history at 18-innings.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cLast night around, the 16th inning, I was going \u2018There\u2019s no way this is happening again,’\u201d Paisley told The Associated Press<\/a> on Tuesday. \u201cI sat there in the in the seat when it ended last night, just staring, like, \u2018OK, what does this even mean?\u2019 And then I didn\u2019t even realize \u2018til today when a couple of these statisticians started compiling stuff\u2026 So I said today, I\u2019m available for football games, too. If anybody wants, you know, another quarter or two out of their team.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tThe country star quipped, \u201cI should be \u2018Mr. More Baseball.\u2019 There\u2019s the new nickname.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe all-nighter proved to be costly for the Dodgers, as the Jays\u2019 win guarantees the series will return to Toronto. Game 4 saw a slew of celebrities show up in support of their teams including Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, LeBron and Savannah James, Donald Glover, and Tinashe. The evening prior, a clip of Justin Bieber<\/a> in full Jays gear went viral <\/a>after the Swag singer was seen responding to one of Shohei Ohtani<\/a>\u2018s home runs with a thumbs-down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The country singer performed the national anthem ahead of the only two 18-inning games in championship history When…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":257988,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[136994,13090,363,99,19632],"class_list":{"0":"post-257987","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-brad-paisley","9":"tag-major-league-baseball","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-world-series"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
