From the Brewers mailbag, answered by Adam McCalvy, MLB.com:
What songs are played for each player when they step up to bat at Miller Park?
-- Darin S., Milwaukee
Here is a list of songs played during one recent game, courtesy of the Miller Park scoreboard crew:
Brady Clark: "Creatures (For a While)," by 311
J.J. Hardy: "Brand New Speed," by Fear Of Water
Geoff Jenkins: "Beautiful," by Snoop Dogg
Carlos Lee: "Adonde," artist unknown
Prince Fielder: "Moments in Love," by The Art of Noise
Rickie Weeks: "Lean Wit It," by Dem Franchise Boys
Corey Koskie: "Limelight," by Rush
Bill Hall: "What You Know," by TI
Damian Miller: "Leashed," by Pearl Jam
Chad Moeller: "Shakedown Street," by The Grateful Dead
Chris Capuano: "Seven Nation Army," by The White Stripes
Jeff Cirillo: "Machinehead," by Bush
Gabe Gross: "I Can Only Imagine," by Mercy Me
Fear of Water is a Milwaukee-based band, and they have a show at the BBC on June 3. Hardy homered in his first at-bat with the new song. ... The Brewers don't know the origin of Lee's song. He burned the portion he wanted played onto a CD and dropped it off. ... Moeller is a huge Grateful Dead fan, and has attended dozens of concerts over the years. ... The Art of Noise released "Moments In Love" in 1985, and Fielder said there's no story behind his selection; he just likes the song. When he steps to the plate in big situations, the keyboard beat makes for a pretty sweet effect. ... If a player is called up from the Minors and plays before he gets to choose a song, the scoreboard guys use Coheed and Cambria's "Welcome Home" or Marilyn Manson's version of "Beautiful People."

A recent Graffanino to Grudzielanek to Mientkiewicz double play apparently had the most surname letters in 3-man DP history.

Lots of Z's and K's on that back end, too.
