National Anthems by Egantx7

Question 9

During the seventh inning stretch of Game 1 of the 1918 World Series, the band in attendance struck up the patriotic tune The Star Spangled Banner. It was enthusiastically received by the war-time crowd, and repeated at some subsequent games. In what stadium, called "The Baseball Palace of the World" did this event occur, often identified as the start of the tradition of playing patriotic music at baseball games, a tradition that would not start in earnest until World War II? HINT: the stadium was not the home stadium of either involved team, but was the site of home games for the team that lost the World Series that year.
