@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.

Sean Doolittle warms up to "For Whom The Bell Tolls"... and the intro bells are played when he strikes somebody out.

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.

Our friend @whalers44 informs us that the Braves played the "Oompa Loompa" song as Altuve (.342, 12 HR 113 H, 47 RBI) came to bat last week.— Richard M. Nixon (@dick_nixon) July 9, 2017

Todd Frazier uses Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon," which suggests to me he's still a fuckin' Yankee

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— Josh Kantor (@jtkantor) October 2, 2019

"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).
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 26 August 2023 21:38 (one year ago) link
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'
