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.

OF Ruben Sierra "The Way You Move" OutKastSierra 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."

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."

"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.

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.

Sometimes the music can get players in trouble. In 2002 when Manny Ramirez was with the Red Sox, he made a last-minute request, via a clubhouse employee, to have his song changed just before a game. The new cut was "Good Times (I Get High)" by Styles, which has drug-themed lyrics and profanity. Boston immediately changed its policy to prohibit spontaneous requests.

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.
