WATCH: U.S. Military parachutes in during Cubs’ National Anthem

There’s almost nothing more American than daytime baseball at Wrigley Field during the summer. A tradition unlike anything else in the sports world, baseball itself is uniquely tied to the history of this great nation.

At a time when the NFL world and President Trump seem to be dividing this sports landscape in a huge way, baseball remains that one constant. Patriotic without shoving it in our face. A true sense of its importance to this nation’s past and future.

That came out in a big way prior to the Chicago Cubs’ home game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday afternoon.

As the national anthem was glaring inside The Friendly Confines, a member of the Navy’s Leap Frog team parachuted in with the American flag. It was a stunning visual.

The cloudy backdrop. Wrigley Field. The American flag. Our great military. MLB baseball in mid-August.

I think we can all agree that this was a stirring moment, one that reminds us baseball is America’s true pastime.
