New York Yankees scored another victory over the San Francisco Giants on April 2nd, defeating them 6-0. It was a glorious game, with some amazing moves. Giancarlo Stanton left the stadium, not to mention his teammates, stunned by a center field home run. It measured 485 feet and was the second-longest homer of Stanton’s career, at least in the Statcast era. Anthony Volpe stole a base yet again, making history as only one of five players to have stolen a base in their first three MLB games since 1901. But the audience was cheering even before the players stepped on the field.

The Yankees vs Giants game got a very special visit from someone that sang the national anthem before the game started. April 2 was not just the date of a baseball game, it celebrated World Autism Day too.

New York Yankees celebrate Ethan Donn’s performance of the National Anthem

Before the game started, Ethan Donn, a high schooler with autism, played The Star-Spangled Banner on the violin, completely entrancing the crowds. Donn is a music lover and has been performing since a young age.

The Yankees posted a clip of his performance to Twitter, with the caption, “In honor of World Autism Awareness Day, we’d like to thank Ethan Donn for today’s beautiful performance of our National Anthem. Ethan, a young man with autism, is a music lover and has been performing since he was 6 years old 💙 #AustismAcceptance #WorldAutismDay”.

Twitter users expressed their enthusiasm at listening to the performance.

Even an Orioles fan couldn’t help tearing up!

All in all, people loved Ethan Donn’s musical performance.

Many applauded the Yankees’ effort to spread awareness about autism, as well as giving Donn this stage to perform.

This was not Ethan Donn’s first rodeo at a baseball stadium

Back in 2021, Donn sang the national anthem at a Yankees game, receiving a standing ovation at the end. Not only that, but he also sang “God Bless America” at Citi Field during the seventh-inning stretch of a Mets game. He’s quite the talent!

Donn is not only a singer and violin player, but also part of the high school’s orchestra, chorus, and mariachi band. The high schooler hails from White Plains, New York and as far as the Yankees are concerned, he’s proved to be a good luck charm so far.
