Donald Trump spent the week scrutinizing how basketball players behave during the national anthem, but baseball's biggest stars gave him less to complain about in Game 1 of the World Series.

The World Series began with an honor guard and Valkyrie, the American Bald Eagle, gliding over Milwaukee in a display that Trump would have approved of as the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays race to claim their first MLB title.

Players from both teams took the field at American Family Field on Friday night as country singer Mickey Guyton delivered a national anthem performance that quickly drew rave reviews online.

The traditional USA display came 24 hours after Trump attacked Philadelphia 76ers forward LeBron James during NBA opening night against the New York Knicks for stretching during the anthem.

"While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country!" the president wrote on Truth Social. MAGA supporters insinuated the NBA star was working on his golf swing during the patriotic song.

James continued to sway his body naturally during his pregame routine as the Sixers improved to 2-0 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night. The NBA icon dismissed the criticism and called Trump's comments a "slow news day at the office."

WNBA players of the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries also drew criticism for staying off the court during pregame ceremonies before Games 1 and 1 of the WNBA Finals.

Trump and several conservative pundits urged fans to boycott the league, while players said they stayed in their locker rooms for various reasons.

Atlanta's Allisha Gray said she was focused on the Finals, not political commentary. Valkyries star Gabby Williams said the locker-room anthem tradition was set in place for years.

Under WNBA rules, players, coaches, and trainers were required to stand on the sidelines during the song, but the league suspended strict enforcement in 2017 and has remained lenient since.

While Trump has yet to comment on the World Series rendition, the internet showed nothing but love for Guyton's performance.

The four-time Grammy nominee performed before Milwaukee's first World Series appearance since 1982. One baseball fan wrote, "This is how you respect our national anthem."

A second added, "I have no idea who she is, but moving forward, she should be assigned to sing the national anthem at every major sporting event. That was an A+."

Guyton is signed to Capital Records and is recognized as the first Black woman to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Country Solo Performance for her song "Black Like Me."
