PHILADELPHIA — Singer-songwriter and entertainer Madison Watkins will sing the national anthem for Game 4 of the World Series.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Madison Watkins was scheduled to sing the national anthem for World Series Game 3 on Monday, Oct 31, but the game was rescheduled to Tuesday due to weather. Madison did not perform Tuesday. Singer and songwriter Chloe Bailey performed the national anthem instead.
