VIDEO: Yngwie Malmsteen performs anthem at Florida Marlins game

Guitar guru Yngwie Malmsteen made a rare appearance last weekend at a Major League Baseball game.

Malmsteen performed the national anthem at the Florida Marlins home game against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday; he was also scheduled to throw out the first pitch, but no video of that has surfaced yet.

Yngwie is getting set to launch his North American tour in support of his late 2010 release, “Relentless” – dates start October 13 at New York City's Irving Plaza.

"I am very much looking forward to playing new pieces from ‘Relentless,’ as well as Malmsteen classics,” said Yngwie. “Fans can expect the unexpected...I raise the bar with every performance I do and this tour will be no different."
