Oh, Say Can You Sing?


...DeMargel figures between the auditions and actual baseball games through which he he's sat through at work over the last 13 years, he's heard "The Star-Spangled Banner" 2,500 times.

"I've heard a lot of national anthems," he said.

Clay Aiken's voice was behind one of them. That was back in 2003. Aiken was among the finalists on "American Idol" and was going to be in the Triangle, DeMargel said.

The idea was to have Aiken, who grew up in Raleigh, at a Bulls game. But "American Idol" handlers only wanted him to throw out the first pitch. Yet DeMargel, understanding Aiken wasn't going to be the most athletic guy in the ballpark that night, knew those who showed up would want to hear him sing. DeMargel said he managed to convince the "American Idol" people everything would be OK.

So Aiken flew into the ballpark in a helicopter, DeMargel said. The singer landed at second base. Yes, Aiken threw out the first pitch. But the guy hit a home run when he absolutely nailed the national anthem, DeMargel said.
