00:01An MLB National Anthem performance suddenly turned awkward when trumpeter Jesse MacGyre's
00:07instrument stopped working in front of thousands of fans.
00:10MacGyre was performing before the Arizona Diamondbacks faced the New York Yankees when
00:15his trumpet failed halfway through the song.
00:18After trying unsuccessfully to fix it, he grabbed a microphone and began singing the
00:22rest of the anthem while still holding the instrument.
00:41The chase field crowd joined in before giving MacGyre a standing ovation.
00:47Diamondbacks manager Tori Lovullo even congratulated him afterward.
00:51The moment was especially fitting because MacGyre had performed during Arizona's 2001
00:56one championship run, which the team was celebrating that night.
