Scotty McCreery arguably knocked it out of the park while performing "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday night. That is, when he finally got his microphone to work.

It seems there was a slight technical malfunction at the beginning of the song, which forced the American Idol champ to start over. But that's nothing compared to the next day comments being made suggesting the 18-year-old country crooner sang "No José does that star-spangled banner yet wave" instead of the lyric "Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave."

Actual flub or simply McCreery's sweet Southern accent at play? Take a listen!
