Pre-At Bat Music

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.

They play an unusual amount of crappy pop metal at the Newark park.

Milton Bradley: "Higher," THE GAME

milton bradley and 70's supergroup foreigner...it's fantastic!

one of these days, when i scam my way in to the commissioner's seat, i will permanently ban we will rock you and car wash from ALL ballparks.

And FYI, AJ pierzynski's at-bat music is Sharp Dressed Man. Nice.

Nate Silver at the Home Run Derby:

7:37 PM. By the way, guys really need to be able to pick their music, just like they pick their pitcher. Pujols lost a ton of momentum when Kansas came on the PA system.

Pujols had some drum and bass tune rinsin' too.

Keith Hernandez LOVES Paul Lo Duca's new tune, "Smoke on the Water":

"The live version of this is AWESOME. Much better than the studio."

keith has a collection of about 30,000 lps.

Any Tull or the Heep?

OF COURSE Nick Swisher's is "Party Like a Rock Star."

brian mccann comes on to 'walk it out' (it'd be funnier if that was francoeur's music)

For the short stint Andy LaRoche was up with the Dodgers he came out to "You're The Best" from the Karate Kid.

chris gomez comes out to monkey gone to heaven!

keith has a collection of about 30,000 lps.

yes, i've heard Hernandez is a huge collector and pops up at the WFMU fair every so often

are you 'aving a laugh?

So at the Orioles vs. Nationals game in Baltimore tonight they played a bit of the Specials "Ghost Town" before the game, the Replacements "Alex Chilton" before a relief pitcher came in, and some nice salsa for the pre-at bat music of the Orioles Melvin Mora. A zillion years later they still play John Denver "Thank God I'm a Country Boy," at the 7th inning stretch, right about "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." My son told me that in Washington the Nationals are doing the Red Sox thing--playing Neal Diamond "Sweet Caroline."

the o's game i was at last week they played some of "oh" by b-more rapper bossman

lots of reggaeton @ marlins games

new found slugger Ryan Ludwick does Brass Monkey. Pujols uses some weird spanish techno that is all about praising jebus.

re: o's

it's kind of weird. they've been using i wanna be your dog a lot. i know they've been using it for luke scott, but someone else who was batting sixth also had it as their walk up music at a game i was at a couple weeks back.

they also tend to use here comes your man by the pixies a lot for pitching chanegs.

wau, I'm glad there could be some John Denver antitoxin at the O's game next Monday

At Chase they play "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand for opposing team pitching changes.

lol alonso is so corny

"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).

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'

Great McNeil pick, what a weirdo

Alonso is a sweet dumb Florida guy, can’t hold that against him

I'm extra unforgiving on sweet dumb Florida guys.

He is not the worst evil on that team (Nimmo)

in this situation i would have to choose beyonce’s ‘all night’

with teammates in the dugout pantomiming the horns

Pretty sure I just heard ATA KAK (!!!) as a bumper in this extra inning game at Dodger Stadium.
