Jon Batiste Performance
Five-time Grammy winner Jon Batiste delivered a pregame performance that was simultaneously heartwarming and lively. He then introduced former Negro League players who, accompanied by members of the Giants and Cardinals, took their places along the foul lines. This was followed by a tribute to the late, great Willie Mays on the video board. Afterwards, Mays' son, Michael, stepped onto the field with Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr.
"Birmingham, I've always said that if there were any way my father could be here, he would," Michael Mays said in his brief address. "Well, he found another way. He is already at your feet. Let him hear you; he's listening."
