Ingrid Andress faced backlash for her performance of the national anthem at the 2024 T-Mobile Home Run Derby, with her voice cracking throughout the rendition. The Grammy Award nominee quickly became a meme on social media, drawing comparisons to infamous anthem performances by Fergie and others. Despite the criticism, some fans defended Andress, with one person sharing a video of Meat Loaf's successful anthem performance from 1994 as a palate cleanser. The event itself saw Teoscar Hernández of the Dodgers win the title, making history as the first Dodger to do so in his debut appearance, defeating Bobby Witt Jr. of the Royals in the final round. Andress' performance will likely be remembered as a controversial moment in Home Run Derby history.
