Says I'm officially announcing that the Chicago Cubs will win the 2010 World Series over the Kansas City Royals in six games. Maybe seven.

Grace Frye Sings National Anthem

Six and a half year old Grace Frye sang the National Anthem with Shawna Corder on Aug. 2 at the Licking County Settlers baseball game at Don Edwards Park in Newark. Her grandparents Frank and Phyllis Frye (left) cheered her on.

Click on the video below to see and hear Grace sing. The microphone cuts out a few times, but Grace and Shawna finish strong!

Grace takes singing lessons with Shawna at Martin Music in Newark, and has been practicing the Anthem with Shawna and her parents Molly and Phil Frye.

This is Grace's third singing performance in front of a crowd this year. In the Spring she sang a solo "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid at a Lakewood Schools fundraising event, and she also sang back-up on Sweet Home Alabama with The House Band at Park National Bank's Summer Spash at the Newark Maennerchor.

How did Grace celebrate her National Anthem debut? With Nachos and Cheese from the concession stand.
