Orioles fans are no strangers to seeing Hall of Famers at Camden Yards, but Wednesday’s game had a unique Hall of Famer in the spotlight.
Renowned whistler Chris Ullman whistled the national anthem before the Orioles clinched a 6-1 victory over the Red Sox. The viral video of his performance has captured the internet’s attention. So, who is Chris Ullman?
Ullman is a four-time international whistling champion and was inducted into the International Whistling Hall of Fame in 2012. His impressive whistling career includes serenading former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney at the White House, performing the national anthem at various sporting events, and collaborating with ten different symphony orchestras.
Despite his musical talent, Ullman also has a successful professional career. He is the President of Ullman Communications, a strategic advisory firm. Ullman is also an author and inspirational speaker, living in Alexandria, Virginia, with his wife Kristen and their three children. Despite his whistling fame, he enjoys listening to conventional music as well.
