SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 – Joan Jett sang the National Anthem before the Baltimore Orioles game against the California Angels. The game marked Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken Jr.’s 2,131st consecutive game, breaking the record held by Lou Gehrig. Jett, a huge Orioles fan and friend of Ripken, watched the rest of the game alongside a host of baseball legends that included Willie Mays and Joe DiMaggio.
