Major League Baseball is bringing out the real heavyhitters for its All-Star events starting Monday night – heavyhitters of the music world, that is.

Sheryl Crow will belt out the national anthem to kick off the All-Star game in Yankees Stadium on Tuesday night, with Josh Groban singing God Bless America during the seventh-inning stretch.

In addition, rock band 3 Doors Down will be on deck for two songs before the home-run derby on Monday night, and Bon Jovi will headline a league-sponsored concert in New York City's Central Park on Saturday.
