Grammy Award-winning singer Eric Burton of the Black Pumas band doesn’t appear to know the lyrics to the national anthem.
    Burton kicked off the World Series 2022 opener between Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies by mistakenly belting out the wrong words.
    As the professional baseball players lined up and staff held a large American flag unfurled on the field for the traditional pre-game ceremony, the singer lost track of the lyrics to "The Star-Spangled Banner."
    He sang the line, "What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last streaming" instead of "gleaming."
