What's playing when they come up to bat?

[Tall_James]

This is pretty cool. A listing, for each MLB player, of the music that is played when they come up to bat. (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page3/story?page=atbatsongs/index)

Figures that Clemens has to be a dick about it...

RHP Roger Clemens "Faint" Linkin Park
Clemens is quite superstitious. The catch to his intro music is that the deejay is instructed to start the song exactly when he crosses the foul line as the Astros take the field. Roger also demands that only 1:45 of the song be used.

i know you guys love varitek, but he really picks the shittiest tunes to bat to. i distinctly remember hearing britney spears one year as he was coming to the plate. i seriously couldnt believe a grown man would choose that.

and damon with creed... UGH.

I already knew that Kazuo Matsui used the Enter the Dragon theme, which I find rediculous considering him and Bruce looking nothing alike and are different backgrounds.

Who is Karim Garcia?? I no respect heem.

After 1:45 Chester starts screaming like a retard. The song rocks until that point.

Also, Chipper Jones' intro is hands down the best in baseball.

Waaay too much Creed, Linkin Park, and Godsmack.


Looks like the best teams are Cleveland, Seattle, and The Rockies. Yankees aren't too bad either.

241--Reel Big Fish--awesome song, bit obscure.
Xola Malik is a Seattle rap artist who wrote the song "Ichiro" in honor of the All-Star right fielder.
Hee Sop Choi--Unknown Korean Rap song--man that has to be the winner.


Pitchers are almost universally better than position players.

1B Tino Martinez - Anything by Van Halen

When Tino played with the Yankees in 1996, he came out to only Van Halen. Looking to bring back some of that luck with the Devil Rays, the first baseman has returned to a heavy rotation of the band's greatest hits.
Gotta love the Bam-Tino! During the run in the late 90s, both he & O'Neill would come out to VH music. My kid brother & I would always keep a scorecard during the game, and we would track Tino & Paul entrance music as well. O'Neill would also throw in a Who song at least once per game, especially "Eminence Front" which has one of the coolest (although unfortunately longest) intros.

they forgot to mention the greatest of them all ... 'enter sandman' for #42 mariano rivera
That was the first thing I thought of after reading the Yankee page...how do you forget that?

They also left out David Wright on the Mets page, who strolls to the plate to the piano into to Van Halen's "Right Now."

mariano and braden looper and gagne are cheap knockoffs of trevor hoffman's "hell's bells". steinbrenner actually got the idea from hearing his entrance. then again hoffman stold the idea from "wild thing" rick vaughn's greatest entrance ever.

Shit! What was that movie; there's a scene with a Badass Black Dude walking down the street with Badass Shaft-type music, and they pan back, and a band is following him, and shit I even remember someone asking him who they were, and him saying something like; 'That's my Theme Music, Man!'

And I'm seeing Carl Weathers but that aint it.

Sorry to sorta de-rail TJ. The only one I knew was 'Enter Sandman' coz I'd catch the games on WABC radio.
