Pre-At Bat Music

OF Ruben Sierra "The Way You Move" OutKast
Sierra requested the OutKast song without knowing the name. So in broken English, he began singing, "I like the way you move, oohh oohh, I like the way move." Well, Jeter, who was only a few feet away from the conversation started cracking up. Since then, Sierra's only at-bat music is "The Way You Move."

Mike Barrett picks Dave Brubeck? STUD.

hstencil and I noticed this at Shea... "Patriots" can get hit hard too:

LHP Mike Stanton
"Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" Toby Keith

"Stanton feels very strongly about his country, and he thinks this song has a true message. He also has an American flag image waving when he comes out of the bullpen."

"The only organization to still have an organist play introduction music, the Cubbies have little influence on their at-bat songs.

Organist and Chicago icon Gary Pressey has been tickling the keys at Wrigley Field for years, and generally prefers traditional tunes over more current hits. Since there is no vocal accompaniment, Cubs fans have fun figuring out what song is being played and why the song was chosen -- but only Pressey can solve such mysteries."

i didn't notice this when i went to a game there. : ( i like it though.

1B Hee Seop Choi - Unknown Korean Rap Song

Info from the Florida Marlins: On opening day, Hee Seop showed up with a Korean rap song, and requested that it be played every time he went up to bat. The song has taken the Marlin fans by storm. The music guys have no clue who sings the song or what it says, but the crowd loves the tune ... and so does Hee Seop.

RHP Jeff Weaver - Assortment of rock tunes

Used to come out to Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver." Weaver thought it was lame and requested that the music guys stop using the song.

They play an unusual amount of crappy pop metal at the Newark park.

Milton Bradley: "Higher," THE GAME

milton bradley and 70's supergroup foreigner...it's fantastic!

one of these days, when i scam my way in to the commissioner's seat, i will permanently ban we will rock you and car wash from ALL ballparks.

And FYI, AJ pierzynski's at-bat music is Sharp Dressed Man. Nice.

Nate Silver at the Home Run Derby:

7:37 PM. By the way, guys really need to be able to pick their music, just like they pick their pitcher. Pujols lost a ton of momentum when Kansas came on the PA system.

Pujols had some drum and bass tune rinsin' too.

Keith Hernandez LOVES Paul Lo Duca's new tune, "Smoke on the Water":

"The live version of this is AWESOME. Much better than the studio."

keith has a collection of about 30,000 lps.

Any Tull or the Heep?

OF COURSE Nick Swisher's is "Party Like a Rock Star."

brian mccann comes on to 'walk it out' (it'd be funnier if that was francoeur's music)

For the short stint Andy LaRoche was up with the Dodgers he came out to "You're The Best" from the Karate Kid.

collective soul?

Whoops, yes Collective Soul.

I was just in awe how anyone (esp of baseball playing age) even remembers that terrible, terrible song.

At tonight's Dodgers game, Kenta Maeda's pre-at-bat music is "Slow Down" by Lights Follow, the international theme to Terrace House.

It was interesting to hear the differences between the Japanese crowd and the American crowd. I’d have thought the Japanese wouldn’t be so rowdy for such a long time.

Roughly belongs here... Fenway organist Josh Kantor played before (and with) Yo La Tengo last night in NYC.

Get your magnifying glass; here are the 873 song requests I played on the Fenway organ in 2019. Thank you to all whose participation/encouragement makes my dream job so fun and weird. pic.twitter.com/NpE7oO9J01

Set up the poll thread, Morbs!

joc pederson - “dancing queen”

guess we don’t have one of these threads for pitchers

Robb nen - smoke on the water

lol alonso is so corny

"Dreams" isn't exactly corny, it's a song about cheating, heartbreak and the end of a relationship (also a weird choice for a walkup song).

it's a great song! but also it came out 20 years before he was born and yeah, it's not exactly prime walkup material

it would be like me picking something off 'birth of the cool'

Great McNeil pick, what a weirdo

Alonso is a sweet dumb Florida guy, can’t hold that against him

I'm extra unforgiving on sweet dumb Florida guys.

He is not the worst evil on that team (Nimmo)

in this situation i would have to choose beyonce’s ‘all night’

with teammates in the dugout pantomiming the horns

Pretty sure I just heard ATA KAK (!!!) as a bumper in this extra inning game at Dodger Stadium.
