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.
The significance of Fort McHenry would be that it played an important role in defense of Baltimore in the War of 1812. Then, it inspired Francis Scott Key to compose a poem which later it became known as our national anthem: "Star Spangled Banner". Fort McHenry is a fort that is in the shape of a star.
Most countries have a National Anthem which is a piece of music, usually with words to match, played on formal occasions. The British National Anthem is "God Save the Queen" The French National Anthem is the "Marseillaise" The American National Anthem is "The Star Spangled Banner"

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.
Because Congress made a law in 1931 declaring it to be so.The Star Spangled Banner was only one of several equally-prominent US patriotic songs until 1889, when Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy issued a general order that it be played at the raising of the flag on US Naval ships and shore stations. Then in 1916 President Woodrow Wilson ordered that it be played "on appropriate occasions" throughout the US military. But only in 1931 was it officially elevated over other patriotic tunes for civilian use.The custom of playing The Star Spangled Banner before every baseball game started during World War Two.
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.
