Mark Rivera, Billy Joel's longtime sax player and music director for Ringo Starr, played a special gig April 10th at Yankee Stadium — performing the U.S. national anthem on saxophone before the start of the Yankees game versus the Boston Red Sox.

Here are photos of Mark during the proud moment on the field. Mark's new album, Common Bond, is available now!
