David Davis of SoCal Sports Observed, one of the foremost authorities on National Anthems sung before big sporting events in addition to be a great writer and an acquaintance of mine, recaps the controversy from 1968 when Jose Feliciano sang the National Anthem before Game 5 of the 1968 World Series.
It's pretty funny what could cause controversy 40 years ago. The best word to describe Feliciano's version is, I think, "pleasant". It's hardly Hendrix.

ps for the record what he did was wrong in my book
And Feliciano was brilliant.
