On social media, fans widely mocked Andress' version of the anthem, with some declaring it the "worst national anthem performance of all time."
Following a high-energy and entertaining introduction of the eight Home Run Derby contestants by actor/comedian Marcello Hernández of "Saturday Night Live" fame, the country music star was up to bat to sing. But viewers weren't impressed by what they slammed as an off-pitch mess.
