Disability Awareness Night, the National Anthem and Fenway Park

40,000 Cheering Fans at Fenway Park in Boston. The Red Sox are in yet another battle for the division with the New York Yankees and the crowd quiets down in anticipation as the National Anthem is about to start It is disability awareness night at Fenway Park and Christopher Duffley gets the chance very few of us will ever get; he will sing the National Anthem. Christopher is a 10 year old who is blind and has autism. Born prematurely, Christopher weighed only 1 lb 12 oz at birth and was rendered blind due to Retinopathy of Prematurity. Christopher stood tall on July 7th and gave a beautiful rendition of the anthem. Make sure you watch the video above.

It Takes A Stadium

The most well known National Anthem in Fenway came on disability awareness night in 2007 when the entire Fenway Park joined together to  help finish the National Anthem.
