San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler stood when the national anthem was played before his team's game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Memorial Day.
Kapler, who began his protest against the direction of the nation on Friday, stood by himself at the railing of the Giants dugout during the playing of taps during the holiday ceremony, which was followed by a rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner'' by a military bugle company.
A few other San Francisco players stood on the chalk line past the third-base bag during their stretching exercises.
"Today, I'll be standing for the anthem," Kapler said Monday on his blog.
