@cgrand14I added @MobbDeep "survival of the fittest" to the at-bat list yesterday. Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm still considering a few more.
"New York got a ***** depressed."

I suggested the Pete Rock mix of PE's "Shut 'Em Down" and Nas' "It Ain't Hard to Tell." (He said he was looking for older hip-hop. Someone suggested "Game Over" by Lil' Flip. Another person suggested DJ Khaled.)
I can't believe I tweeted to an athlete.

1B Hee Seop Choi - Unknown Korean Rap SongInfo 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.― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, August 6, 2004 11:51 AM (8 years ago)

@susanslusser 13hTwo doses of Careless Whisper this at-bat, once before visit to mound and one after. And a wild pitch then moves up runner.
@susanslusser 13hWell, Reddick did tell me today he thought maybe Careless Whisper might put pitchers to sleep.

The Dodgers reported the most Hip-Hop/Rap selections with 20. The Cubs were rather sparse with just two, and that’s only if we generously interpret the genre contributions of Marky Mark and his funky bunch. The Diamondbacks are the most country-focused team with 8 total selections, although Zack Greinke accounts for a quarter of those. The Nationals were the most metal team; the Oakland A’s the most rock and roll.

"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
