Episode Details

Martha Reeves, the iconic voice of “Dancing in the Street,” took the field at the historic first Women’s Professional Baseball League game to sing the Star-Spangled Banner—only to have her performance go viral for all the wrong reasons. Facing wet, windy conditions and no stage monitors, she admitted she couldn’t hear herself, but insisted it was an honor beyond measure. Fans and players struggled to keep straight faces as the clip racked up millions of views, sparking comparisons to other unforgettable (and off-key) anthem moments like Fergie’s 2018 and Ingrid Andress’s recent performance. Despite the online chatter, Reeves stands proud—this wasn’t about perfection, but supporting a groundbreaking moment for women in sports.
