A singer from Long Island is on a mission to perform the national anthem at all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums.
OCEANSIDE, N.Y. â Ali Berke, 23, says she's been singing since she was 13.'I kind of live like a 'Hannah Montana' lifestyle. I do music at night, and then I work two jobs during the day,' the Oceanside resident said.She recently figured out her own way of making a name of herself.
Berke says she books the gigs by word of mouth or by personally reaching out to each stadium. She doesn't get paid, and stadiums don't reimburse her for travel.Berke and her dad are turning the trips into bonding moments that she says can't come with a price tag.'We go and sometimes we'll make a whole weekend out of it,' she said.Berke says every time she sings the national anthem at a new stadium, it's a different experience, and that's what she likes the most.
