Tim McGraw — his name also the title of one of Swift's early breakout hits — delivered the game ball.
Swift joined other Philly luminaries Patti LaBelle and John Oates as 2008 World Series anthem singers.
Hackash said the team mostly worked through Swift’s family, including her parents Scott and Andrea, to snag an appearance.
Her first Reading game was kind of a stepping stone to get something on tape to send to the Sixers.
Former Sixers manager of game operations Kathy Drysdale said in 2002 that Swift’s voice caught her attention immediately on a tape submitted by Scott Swift.
