The Color Guard was presented by the U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard, Marine Barracks in Washington.
The national anthem was presented by The President’s Own, United States Marine Band.
The game ball delivery was by Sgt. Major Troy Black, U.S. Marine Corps, and the cry of play ball came from Colonel Anthony Bolden, U.S. Marine Corps.
