Jay-Z sported a Yankees cap and varsity jacket, while Keys – in a purple top and black pants - belted out the chorus, first while seated at her piano and then from center stage.
"I think it almost seems like it's the anthem for New York right now," Derek Jeter told MLB.com.
"As a die-hard Yankees fan, I'm honored to perform a song that celebrates the greatness of New York in one of our city's most important landmarks, Yankee Stadium," Jay-Z said in a press release.
Jay-Z told ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" that earlier in the day he got a chance to roam the field and imagined catching a ball and doubling a guy out at home plate.
"I felt like a kid," he said. "The field is beautiful. I've never been that close to the field. Walking around, I jumped over the center-field fence and everything, like I was catching a home run."
