Donna Sachet made history Tuesday, September 29 as she sang
the national anthem before the San Francisco Giants game at AT&T Park. It
is believed to be the first time a drag persona has sung "The
Star-Spangled Banner" at a Major League Baseball game. Sachet, the Bay
Area Reporter's society columnist and a
longtime performer and fundraiser for numerous LGBT charities, thanked her
legions of supporters in an entry on her Facebook page. "Thank you to all
who were there to cheer me on ... and to the SF Giants for this tremendous
opportunity." The Giants went on to win against the Arizona Diamondbacks,
8-4.
