He also sang during the Military Tribute at the 137^th Preakness Stakes, where trainer Doug O'Neill's horse, I'll Have Another, won the second leg of the Triple Crown.  Kearns last performed "The National Anthem" at a sporting event as the guest of The Washington Redskins on October 7, 2012 when they played against the Atlanta Falcons at FedExField in Landover, MD.

Kearns performed "God Bless America" during the Seventh Inning Stretch at a Boston Red Sox game on July 25, 2004, when they played against the New York Yankees, and more recently, for the L.A. Angels v. the Colorado Rockies in 2011.
