The Chicago White Sox<\/a> longtime anthem performer was hospitalized Wednesday night after he collapsed while performing the Black national anthem before a game against the Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n

The terrifying scene happened amid the “Jackie Robinson Day” festivities as Gerald Chaney was performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chaney, who was also due to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” was just a few words into singing the Black national anthem<\/a> when he paused. He began again but collapsed on the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was tended to by medical personnel for several minutes before he was taken off the field on a gurney. The team said in a statement that Chaney was taken to an area hospital for further evaluation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“The White Sox longtime anthem performer, Gerald Chaney, experienced a medical emergency while singing during pregame tonight. He received treatment by EMTs at the ballpark and was alert prior to being transported to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment.”<\/p>\n

The statement continued, “The entire White Sox family is sending love to Gerald and his family for a full and speedy recovery.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s game was delayed 12 minutes.<\/p>\n

“I’m really glad to hear that he is doing well,” White Sox manager Will Venable said after the game. “But obviously a scary moment. I think everyone did a great job in responding and did the best to make sure he’s all right. Really good news to hear that he is all right. That’s the most important thing, obviously.”<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay<\/a> defeated Chicago 8-3 on the road for the team\u2019s fifth straight win.<\/p>\n
