Baltimore Orioles fans have mixed opinions on Dan Deacon performing the National Anthem before Thursday's game.

Baltimore-based artist Dan Deacon performed an electronic, autotuned national anthem that seemingly divided fans before the Orioles swept the Mets in a double-header Thursday.

Baltimore musician Dan Deacon is making waves for his unconventional take on the national anthem—performed ahead of an Orioles game this week.

The Baltimore Orioles' match-up against the New York Mets on Thursday included a bit of pregame entertainment that admittedly wasn't for everybody.

Deacon is an electronic music artist with five studio albums to his credit, including work on movie scores including Hustle. The musician was decked out in a Hawaiian Orioles top with a T-shirt featuring Baltimore’s mascot, The Oriole Bird, when he took the field on Thursday afternoon.

Today the Baltimore Orioles played a home game against the New York Mets. For the “Star Spangled Banner,” Dan Deacon used his electronic flair to make his performance unique.

Not for nothing: The Orioles beat the Mets in both games of the double-header. Remember, the parents of rock-and-roll fans weren't happy when Jimi Hendrix famously tried his hand at the song, either.

The series is now tied at one game apiece following Baltimore’s late rally for a 3-1 win. Gunner Henderson came off the bench and stroked a two-run pinch hit home run in the bottom of the eighth to propel the O’s to the win. David Peterson (7IP, 1ER) and Charlie Morton (6IP, 1ER) engaged in a pitchers’ duel until Henderson’s heroics.
