Who is singing the National Anthem for Yankees vs. Dodgers World Series Game 4?

It might be foolish to think that the New York Yankees can rally from a 3-0 World Series deficit against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that won't stop the team from mustering all the magic it can in the Bronx on Tuesday night. Long Island native Ashanti has been tapped to sing the National Anthem ahead of Game 4 at Yankee Stadium, and she looks dressed for the occasion.

The Yankees' season is on life support, having dropped the first three games of this series to L.A. Freddie Freeman's instantly iconic walk-off grand slam broke New York's heart in Game 1, and the offense has been AWOL since — particularly Aaron Judge, who went hitless again in Game 3 to drop his postseason OPS to just .580. Combine that with some sloppy fundamentals and some very questionable decision-making from manager Aaron Boone, and you've got the perfect ingredients for a potential sweep.

It's a historically uphill battle ahead, but the team doesn't seem to be throwing in the towel just yet. And some New York royalty will be on hand once again to cheer them on.
