Boy hiccups through national anthem before baseball game, but finishes anyway
Despite his determination, a seven-year-old boy couldn't quite make his way through the entire Australian national anthem before a baseball game without succumbing to the hiccups.
Despite his determination, a seven-year-old boy couldn't quite make his way through the entire Australian national anthem before a baseball game without succumbing to the hiccups.
On Friday, Ethan Hall was set to sing the anthem before an Australian Baseball League game between the Adelaide Bite and the Brisbane Bandits, according to Major League Baseball's website.
About 10 seconds into the song, the first hiccup arrives. Hall pushed on, however, and made it through the whole thing.
"What a lot of courage from the youngster," one of the commentators said in the video, as Hall ran off to high-five some of the players.
