As the World Series begins on Friday, October 27, the Texas Rangers will face off against the Arizona Diamondbacks in a best-of-7 series. Texas will host the first two games of the series in Arlington in front of a national audience.

Both of these teams' World Series runs were unexpected. Arizona won just 84 games this season, while Texas blew a late-season AL West lead to the Houston Astros, and then blitzed their way to the fall classic.

Who sang the National Anthem at World Series game tonight?
