This is the thread where we talk about the music that certain players/stadiums play before certain batters.

I heard Daft Punk's "One More Time" before a JT Snow at bat last night. I laughed.

Bonds used to like DMX but then it seemed HIS song was Eminem's "Lose Yourself".

These days I can't hear anything but a roar before Bonds' ABs.

I seem to remember the Pittsburgh PA / DJ, sometime in the '80s, playing assorted jokey themes for different players, even pissing at least one off. Naturally, time has eroded all the specifics.

It's been a few years, but Craig Biggio used to have the "Hey, ho, let's go!" part of "Blitzkreig Bop" and Jeff Bagwell used to have that Rage Against the Machine song from the end of The Matrix. Not sure what they use now.

Classic: Paul O'Neill's "Baba O'Reilly." Even now when I scan that one up on the classic rock station in the car, I instinctively think, "Here comes a double off the wall."

andruw jones uses "move bitch", chipper uses "crazy train", julio "jesus juice" franco uses some christian rock tune that everytime i hear it i think 'is this rush?' until i see granpa walking to the batter's box.

good analogy, gygax!

i remember seeing a Reds/Cubs game at old Riverfront and Bo Diaz, then catcher for the home team, had a little routine he would do at the end of his at salsic sounding pre at bat music..it kinda went..BaPaPa BaPaPa BEEouuu Boom! ..and at the end of the ditty, after well timed swings and stretches, he threlvic pusted to the Boom! part of the song and stepped in the box. Being 12, i thought it was cool as fuck. in retrospect, it was pretty crude, i guess.

And what music would you have your team play as you dug into the box, o ILB?

I think I would begin with a handful of Superchunk songs until I discovered which one produced the most hits.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 04:19 (6 years ago) Permalink

i would have random eric gaffney screams/noise in short bursts to try to disrupt the pitchers equilibrium. i'd need all the help i could get. failing that i'd probably settle for the gories.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 12:58 (6 years ago) Permalink

I would replace the PABM of anyone using Creed or Nickelback or some sub-Springsteenian common-people grunge hash with either Dear Nora, Beat Happening, Honeybunch, or Tullycraft. Imagine the joy of seeing Jason Giambi stride to the plate to the tune of "Songs Your New Boyfriend's Too Stupid To Know About".

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 27 April 2004 16:15 (6 years ago) Permalink

I want Boss Hog's "I Dig You" for my PABM. Then I could give a wink to the pitcher and throw him off his game.

Found my Pittsburgh facts: the organist was (is?) Vince
Lascheid. Houston pinch-hitter Jesus Alou grounded into an inning-ending double play once, after which Lascheid played "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."

Jason Kendall has MM's "The Beautiful People" as his music.

Oh, I forgot to come here to report Rangers At-bat music after I went to the game last week. The only one I can remember now is Mark Teixiera's. He used Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower".

I remember Michael Young's was cool but I can't remember what it was.

Ray Ray used to use Master P?

Piazza used Led Zep at one of his at-bats last night, didn't help.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 17 June 2004 12:44 (6 years ago) Permalink

Was it "When the Levee Breaks" or "Stairway to Heaven"? That'd be a HUGE difference.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 17 June 2004 13:46 (6 years ago) Permalink

Ha - regardless, the Zep pick HAS to be "(Hats Off To) Roy Harper" (or whatever that track's called).

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 17 June 2004 13:47 (6 years ago) Permalink

no way, the zeppelin pick has to be "achilles last stand". placing and showing in this race would be "immigrant song" and "communication breakdown".

"Communication Breakdown," three different versions for three different at-bats.

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."

The Cubbies' choices are pretty funny.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 6 August 2004 13:57 (6 years ago) Permalink

Isn't Shawn Estes a GBV fan, and he chooses Lenny Kravitz?

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."

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 6 August 2004 14:24 (6 years ago) Permalink

i was about to ask for someone to confirm the cubs choices because i had difficulty believing them, but at the top:

"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.

― John (jdahlem), Friday, 6 August 2004 16:06 (6 years ago) Permalink

The sound system (if you can even call it that) at Wrigley consists of several tin cans hidden deep in the rafters I think. You can hear the organ on TV, but I have a hard time bringing any organ to mind from the games I've attended. WGN must have a mic right by Chicago icon Gary Pressey.

― mattbot (mattbot), Friday, 6 August 2004 16:22 (6 years ago) Permalink

bizarrely, the only entrance music i have EVER noticed while watching a game is sheffield's (used to be "in da club", can't remember what it is now). i notice it every time he comes to plate, but have never (that i can remember) heard, or at least especially taken note of, anyone elses. weeeiiiiiiiiird.

― John (jdahlem), Friday, 6 August 2004 16:28 (6 years ago) Permalink

I think the Cubs choices are great. All old stuff, none of that shitty creed shit.

Some nice Dodger notes:

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.

― John (jdahlem), Saturday, 7 August 2004 04:12 (6 years ago) Permalink

no, apparently when they made him a closer they asked him what music he wanted to come out of the bullpen to and he said he had no preference (he was probably still stewing about being made a closer)(hell, he's still stewing over that). "dancing queen it is then". now it's some ac/dc, a bold and inventive choice for a white reliever.

MAG.COM: What does it feel like to hear your music in stadiums?
LIL WAYNE: Unexplainable. I'm just so grateful. The feeling is like—wow, man.
When you're writing, do you think about what the songs will sound like at a sporting event?
Put it this way, I don't write anything that I don't expect to hear in a stadium, so yeah.
How much time do you spend a week watching sports?
I don't watch anything else. It's kind of like, football, basketball, baseball, in that order—all day long when I'm not writing.
Do you have any friends in Major League Baseball?
I haven't met anyone yet. I'd like to meet Delmon Young or Prince Fielder. Those are my two favorite players. I love Delmon 'cause he's an energetic young guy, an ambitious player. And Prince, s--t, with his size and what he can accomplish, man I think the sky's the limit for him. My other favorite player is this kid Price on the Rays—David Price. He's something, man. I'm excited to see him pitch. If he was gonna use a song of mine I'd say it should be "I'm Me." I like that song. That's a confident song. That s--t is motivational. That's where he should go with his music. Either that or the song Charlie Sheen used in that movie, "Wild Thing."
Would you ever write an at-bat song for a player if he asked?
Of course. Hell, yes, I would. I'd do it right now.
Off the top of your head, what would you write for Prince Fielder?
When I make music I gather all my thoughts…hmm. It probably go something like: Coming up to the plate young Prince/ swinging for the fence. Something like that, but it'd be better 'cause I'd work real hard on it.
What would your at-bat song be?
"Purple Rain," no doubt. I've been trying to sing like Prince. I listen to him a lot. But with that song, you know, it's so complex that I'd start it out with the guitar solo right when I stepped into the batter's box.
"Lollipop" is one of the most popular at-bat songs. How long did it take you to write it?
It came very quickly. It's one of my chant songs. Like, you kind of make it up as you go like, Hell no, we won't go. That's what I mean by chant. I make a lot of those types of songs, and I guess it makes sense for them in stadiums.
What games are you looking to go to down the stretch?
You know what? I've never actually been to a Major League game. I've heard my songs at NBA games, but not baseball. I can't really believe it. I was gonna go see the Marlins when they had Dontrelle 'cause I loved that dude. Now I think I may go see the Rays when they call up Price (he played his first game on Sept. 14th).
Are the Rays your favorite story of the year?
No. Manny Ramirez going to the Dodgers is. That was some unexpected s--t. ManRam in LA. Damn. He's actually my favorite player, overall. It's a tie between him and Ortiz. I'll go 50/50. I used to like Pedro, but I don't like his swagger no more. I'm actually a huge Red Sox fan, but I'm torn. My man's on the Dodgers now, so I'll be rooting for them, too. It's close with them and the Diamondbacks, man, but Manny's gonna push 'em over the top.
What about your favorite athletes from other sports?
Kobe Bryant is my favorite of all-time. I got that jersey before anyone else. I've been a Brett Favre fan since like 1995. I love the Green Back Packers. It's crazy bein' a Packers fan and a Red Sox fan and your two favorite players get traded. It's rough, like, now I'm a Red Sox and Dodger fan. What? Now I'm a Packers and Jets fan. Seriously. The Packers are ranked high without him though. I'm really torn about that.
Do you play fantasy sports?
Sure do. Got a team on ESPN right now. I joined up in a ten person league and got the No. 1 overall pick. They don't know it's me, 'cause on there I'm the South Beach Sloths.
And you went with LT, right?
Hell, no. A.P. over LT. Are you serious? You gotta make that pick 'cause he's the best and he's gonna prove it this year. I'm pretty happy with my team. I got Ben Roethlisberger, too. I got Chris Johnson from the Titans—you ESPN people oughta like that move. I watched Michael Smith's draft on ESPN and then I had my draft the next day. I'm always prepared. S--t, it's all I watch.
Who do you like to win the World Series?
I like the Rays but I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here and say the Cubs. This could really be the year after all they been through. I'd pick a song for them, or write one, about triumph. But it's gotta be big for this. It's gotta be a good song.

The Braves play a few snarky organ bars for visiting batters. A few heard this week:

Jose Reyes - "King of Pain" (injuries + "rey")
Jeff Francoeur - "These Foolish Things" (sentimental, unless theyre referencing his zone judgment)
Buster Posey - "Ring Around the Rosie"
Pat Burrell - "Cold as Ice" (the famed "no underwear" interview?)
Tim Lincecum - "Puff the Magic Dragon"

i think the Burrell jab is more directly a comment on his awful July.
