Thirty Years Ago, Michael Bolton Wowed Cincinnati with His Rendition of the National Anthem

Michael Bolton is a force of nature.

Thirty years ago this week, he was a force for good, singing the national anthem before game 4 of the 1990 World Series, when the Cincinnati Reds completed their sweep of the Oakland A’s for their first world championship in 14 years.

Enjoy.

To quote Michael Bolton,

“How can we be lovers if we can’t be friends?How can we start over when the fighting never ends?Baby, how can we make love if we can’t make amends?How can we be lovers if we can’t be, can’t be friends?
