Started in 1941; by 1942 it was played in all Ballparks.
Actually it was first played in 1918 during World War 1
In 1918, during the heart of America 's involvement in World War One, the Americans were assigned the right flank of a large Allied army commanded by the French. The bugle sounded and the Americans along with their French and English allies rose and marched forward towards the German trenches. The Germans opened fire with their machine guns and the Americans were cut to pieces.
American General "Blackjack" Pershing refused to allow his army to be controlled by the French and planned his own attack for the next morning. During the night, groups of Americans soldiers, familiar with the way Native Americans fought, snuck slowly out of their entrenchments and crawled towards the German lines. When they got within 100 yards of the Germans, they would lay quietly while others followed their lead. By morning several hundred Americans were in position in front of the German lines, some getting as close as 20 paces.
In the morning when the bugle sounded the charge, the Germans thought they had time but the Americans were on them in a hurry. Soon, the Germans broke, and then ran for their lives. The Americans were victorious.
In the United States during a baseball game played at Ebbets Field, a message was put on the scoreboard announcing the victory. Some fans then stood and began to sing the National Anthem. Slowly, more and more people stood to join in until by the end of the song, everyone in the stadium had stood up and were singing.
From that day till the present, the National Anthem has been sung at every baseball game played in America .

Star-Spangled Banner... OUR USA National Anthem! USA USA USA USA!
That would be the shelling of Fort McHenry by the British fleet. I believe you are referring to Francis Scott Key's Star Spangled Banner
The Star-Spangled Banner is generally considered a fairly difficult song for most amateur singers since it has a range of an octave plus a major fifth. It's often played in B flat, which means the vocal part ranges through the entire treble clef from the Bb below middle C to the high F on the top line. (Many vocalists find it's much easier to deal with in the key of G instead, where the high note is a D.)

Jimi Hendrix did his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock. It was an artistic rendition and Jimi did not mean any disrespect but, It caused a lot of controversy.
the Star Spangled Banner was composed during the War of 1812. It was recognized for official use by the Navy in 1889, and finally became America's National Anthem in 1931.
Yes. That's the national anthem and is played before every game. Everyone in attendance stands and takes off their hat while the national anthem is played.
I could easily be wrong here but I thought the first person to play a memorable version of Star Spangled Banner was Jimmi Hendrix at Woodstock.
