Blige to perform Game 6 anthem
Bronx native joins list of Grammy-winning WS performers
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
Blige lent her voice to the 2008 song, "Just Stand Up," with proceeds benefiting the Stand Up To Cancer program. Major League Baseball and MasterCard are also involved in the program, donating $1,000 for every home run through the end of the postseason. Through Monday's Game 5, that translates to $61,000.
Blige has earned six Grammy Awards and seven multi-platinum records. Her eighth studio CD, "Growing Pains," follows her best-selling anthology, "Reflections."
The Phillies took Game 5 to cut the Yanks' Series lead to 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. Coverage of Game 6 begins on FOX at 7:30 p.m. ET.
