00:01An MLB National Anthem performance suddenly turned awkward
00:05when trumpeter Jesse Matt Geyer's instrument stopped working in front of thousands of fans.
00:10Matt Geyer was performing before the Arizona Diamondbacks faced the New York Yankees
00:15when his trumpet failed halfway through the song.
00:17After trying unsuccessfully to fix it, he grabbed a microphone
00:21and began singing the rest of the anthem while still holding the instrument.
00:41The chase field crowd joined in before giving Matt Geyer a standing ovation.
00:47Diamondbacks manager Tori Lovullo even congratulated him afterward.
00:51The moment was especially fitting because Matt Geyer had performed during Arizona's 2001 championship run,
00:58which the team was celebrating that night.
