October 28th, 2010 - 11:45 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, Oct 28 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Tony Bennett wowed everybody at the AT&T Park last night in San Francisco with his delivery of “God Bless America.”
The performance was during 2010 World Series. Since September 11, 2001, it has been a custom to sing the song before the opening of the World Series each year.
The 84-year-old singer got all the audience at the stadium singing long the song during the seventh-inning of the game between the San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers.
