Entrance Music

[stejay]

Would would be you enterence music? Mine would be Dirty Little Secret by All American Reject. Thats what my works softball team nicknamed me at my old job, as they told no-one that I had played baseball before. I have a slight figure too, so it looked like I was just a geek playing softball for a statiscical company. I hit two homers, and a triple. Ever since then, they called me that.

[blacksilverfan12]

I've had a few ideas in my mind...

Disposable Heroes-Metallica
Rock and Roll-Led Zeppelin
Rise Above-Black Flag
94 Hours-As I Lay Dying

[Nutriaitch]

Born on the Bayou by CCR

I was born, raised, and still live in a small bayou community about an hour south of New Orleans.

[JerseySoxFan19]

Wild Thing-The Troggs
Same old Song and Dance-Aerosmith
Sharp Dressed Man-ZZ Top

[Erik Bedard]

As a closer...

Chevelle - The Clincher
Breaking Benjamin - So Cold
System of a Down - Aerials

And as a hitter...

OK Go - Get Over It
Living Things - Bom Bom Bom
Modest Mouse - Ocean Breathes Salty
Nirvana - Scentless Apprentice
Nirvana - Very Ape
Nirvana - Tourette's
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Nirvana - Breed
The Offspring - Staring at the Sun
The Offspring - Come Out and Play
The Offspring - Self Esteem
Priestess - Lay Down
Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade
Rage Against the Machine - Sleep Now in the Fire
Rage Against the Machine - Guerrilla Radio
The Ramones - Beat on the Brat
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground
Smashing Pumpkins - Zero

If I had to pick one, it would probably be Higher Ground.

I could also take Jump Around by House Of Pain, or Mama Said Knock You Out, by LL Cool J.

[Erik Bedard]

That's one that I would love to come up to the plate with (Mama Said Knock You Out). I don't have it on my iTunes library, which is why I didn't mention it. Not a great song, but absolutely perfect for walking up to the plate.

Another one: Cult of Personality by Living Colour.

[stejay]

I agree totally. Most of my favorite songs I couldn't really come to the plate with really.

[Tacosaregood/metsguy234]

Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance (the faster part of the song, though)

[Erik Bedard]

No offense, but they are arguably the worst band around today. Except for Nickelback and all their clones.

[dabigyankeeman]

Darth Vader theme from Star Wars (Sheffield used this in Miami)
Theme from Rocky
Theme from Indiana Jones

[Scoops]

Nice Guys Finish Last by Green Day.

[Tacosaregood/metsguy234]

No offense, but they are arguably the worst band around today. Except for Nickelback and all their clones.

I don't listen to any of their other songs. I listen to Panic! at the Disco though. I never really knew why...

I've just loved that song since I saw it on the highlight reel of Web Gems on Baseball Tonight's 2006 Web Gem Awards.

[Erik Bedard]

I didn't mind them when I first heard I'm Not Okay, which I thought was all right. Then Helena came out, which I hated, and Welcome to the Black Parade really bugged me. I mean, learn to write. It's like the same three lines over and over again. And his voice suddenly got really, really annoying. Like, annoying enough to overshadow the good guitaring. As far as Panic! at the Disco goes, the singer sounds way too much like Fall Out Boy for me to like it.

Oh, and I thought of another one: War- Low Rider (just the bass line)

And if you're going for humor: The Blood Arm- Suspicious Character (I literally laughed out loud when it played as my guy's walkup song in my MLB 08 career. Really catchy beat, too)

[mojorisin71]

Black Sabbath - Iron Man
Motorhead - Ace of Spades
AC/DC - TNT

[steve rogers]

Darth Vader theme from Star Wars

As a life long win or lose Yankees fan I really, really, really want the Yankees to start using that song. The Red Sox (and former Yankees owner) decided to call us the "Evil Empire" and I think we should embrace it. You know that little fade away theme when Obi Wan senses Vader, imagine that played when the Yankees score instead of those stupid Close Encounters noises. Just a quick ba ba ba, bu ba bu for every run. How awesome would it be to have the empire theme playing when they take the field? Or hearing it blasting over the stadium when Arod hits a walk off. Psychological warfare. I think Billy Martin would approve.

Any way, I always wondered why no closers have used "Shut Em Down" by Public Enemy. It's got a perfect bass line for a stadium song. Maybe PE is a little too contoversial.

My entrance music would be "Walking In The Great Shining Path Of Monster Trucks" by Clutch. That or "Big Takeover" by the Bad Brains.

Crazy Train- Ozzy Osbourne

[Milwaukee T]

I was in a game in Illinois and the away team was at bat. There was a guy that was likely 6-5 and about 300 lbs. Picture the guy from the The Green Mile. They started playing that 80s song "I want to be a Cowboy". It was a gut buster. Even he stopped on the way up to chuckle and wave.

[Dalkowski110]

As a former high school closer, I actually gave this a lot of thought. Here are the top three...
The Imperial March-Composed by John Williams (This is the "Darth Vader song"...I'm also a Star Wars trivia nut)
Johnny B. Goode-Chuck Berry (My actual first name is "John-William" and those very close to me call me "Johnny")
Green Onions-Booker T. & The M.G.'s (I've always loved 1950's-1960's R&B, and also instrumentals. The tune's downward beat conveyed my demeanor on the mound...I *NEVER* smiled. My delivery has also ALWAYS been 1950's-1960's style. Both before I trashed my arm with awful mechanics and currently trying to rebound by throwing in my backyard at 60'6" with much better mechanics, I've done the hand part, pitched out of a full windup with arms and legs going every which way, hiked my socks up, etc, etc.)

[NineWorldSeries]

"It's Raining Men"

[Captain Cold Nose]

Coltrane's "Giant Steps".
