Singing the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium on Monday for Jackie Robinson Night will be Branch Rickey’s great-granddaughter, Kelley Jakle.
“Mr. Rickey, do you want a singer who’s afraid to do all sorts of vocal tricks during the anthem?”
“No. I want a singer with the guts not to do all sorts of vocal tricks during the anthem!”
Dodgers at Diamondbacks, 1:10 p.m.

Update: Apparently the information the Dodgers sent this morning was incorrect, and Jakle is singing “God Bless America,” not the anthem.
