The Yankees aren’t the only team cycling through national anthem singers: Yesterday more than a hundred people waited at Citi Field, all auditioning to be the Mets’s official game opener. Those assembled were young and old, with try-out pieces ranging from operatic to ecclesiastical. Jeremy Eye said he “froze up” while singing “How to Save a Life” by The Fray, but still felt “pretty good.” Auditions to join Mr. Mets’s entourage were also held on Monday. According to the Daily News, the Mets will choose several different singers to perform the anthem before their 81 home games this season. But watch out when reaching for that high C, songbirds—it doesn't take much to knock Citi Field's sign letters loose.
