Jun 1, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Orioles players stand for the playing of the national anthem before a game against the Chicago White Sox at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Orioles are celebrating Autism Acceptance Night on Thursday. The game will kick off with a special rendition of the national anthem by a 17-year-old violinist with autism.

Not for nothing: The Orioles beat the Mets in both games of the double-header. Remember, the parents of rock-and-roll fans weren't happy when Jimi Hendrix famously tried his hand at the song, either.
