On Sunday, September 23rd, Chicago’s two Major League Baseball teams, the White Sox and the Cubs, closed out a three-game series at the White Sox’s South Side home stadium, Guaranteed Rate Field. Ahead of the game, the team brought in some of Chicago’s favorite musical exports—Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger of Umphrey’s McGee—to sing the National Anthem.

You can watch a clip of Cinninger and Bayliss of Umphrey’s McGee harmonizing on “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field below:

The Umphrey’s guys were not the only notable Chicago musicians to help celebrate the intra-city rivalry. Kanye West headed out to the pitcher’s mound with his young son, Saint West, in tow to throw out one of several ceremonial first pitches. Watch the adorable video below:
