"Paisley may enjoy the opportunity to sing and then take in a World Series game, but for the sake of everyone's sanity, it might behoove him to enjoy from the comfort of his own home in the future. That's because a strange pattern of wild games has emerged when the country music star sings the national anthem during the World Series. That includes Game 2 in 2017, Game 3 in 2018, Game 1 in 2024 and Game 3 in 2025."
"This was the only game that didn't go in the Dodgers' favor, with former closer Kenley Jansen allowing the game-tying home run to Marwin Gonzalez of the Houston Astros. The long ball was a major theme of this game. The Astros and Dodgers combined for eight, a new World Series single-game record. Six came in the ninth inning or later and five came in extra innings, which was another World Series record."
Brad Paisley sang the national anthem before multiple World Series games that turned unusually wild and lengthy, including Game 2 in 2017, Game 3 in 2018, Game 1 in 2024 and Game 3 in 2025. Paisley is a devoted Dodgers fan and helped facilitate the Tyler Glasnow trade by hosting negotiations at his Nashville home. The 2017 Game 2 went 11 innings with eight combined homers and multiple extra-inning records. The 2018 Game 3 lasted 18 innings and set the duration record at seven hours and 20 minutes. The pattern often resulted in Dodgers victories despite the chaos.
