The boys, girls, men and women of the St. Agnes Cathedral Choir had a ball on Aug. 9, when they were invited to Citi Field to sing the national anthem before the Mets faced off against the Chicago Cubs.

“This was such a thrill, especially for our young boys and girls, to be able to perform at a major league baseball game,” St. Agnes musical director Michael Bower said.
