The last time the Kansas City Royals were in the World Series (1985), Reba McEntire sang the National Anthem before game one. The Royals stayed true to their country music past in game 1 of this year's series, with Trisha Yearwood doing the honors before game 1 with the San Francisco Giants.

And just like in 1985, when the Royals dropped game 1 of the "I-90 Series" 3-1 to their cross-state rival St. Louis Cardinals, the Royals dropped game 1 of the 2014 series to the Giants 7-1. Good news for Royals fans though, they rebounded to win the 1985 series in 7 games. Here's hoping they don't reconsider having country singers sing the anthem the next time they make the fall classic.

Little Big Town will sing the National Anthem before game 3 Friday in San Francisco.
