If I were a closer coming in from the bullpen, I would choose something pretentious, like "Sprach Zarathustra" or "Pomp & Circumstance"

"I been caught stealin....ONCE."

i always wish the really famous guys like arod or jeter or whoever (and no just becuase he was in a song juan pierre doesn't count) would use a line from a song they were in - like arod should come out to jay-z's all i need - shut your bumba i got arod numbers

last year, there were quite a few threads discussing possible Joba entrance tunes. i think Iron Maiden's "Run To The Hills" was the best... someone mentioned AC/DC's "Thunderstruck", too.

"Indians" by Anthrax, might also be a good one for Joba.

There's a lot of good energy songs on the debut Mind Funk cd...

There's gotta be a funny Infectious Grooves song for an at-bat.

Maybe Mo can switch to Van Halen's "Panama" ; )

theres a great wiki page on songs used by players, which reminded me about cliff floyd and sanford and son.
that has got to be my favorite...

if memory serves, there were some very interesting choices on that list. someone random had elliot smith (ryan freel? is that you?) and there was some belle and sebastian, no joke...

...i'm just gonna go find that page. brb.
nope, cant find it.

if i had to bring the rock, it would be the pixies version of 'head on' or sweet's 'fox on the run.' no idea why.

"theme from Sesame Street" for Huston Street.

ooh, there's gotta be some kind of "Taking To Myself..." type of song for Ryan Freel(and Farney, of course!)

for A-Rod's hot streak, he could've used Joe Jackson's "I'm The Man"!

Pantera's "Cowboys From Hell" would be a good energy tune...

Led Zep has a bunch of tunes that would work...

As for me, I'd use "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead.

I have no idea what my walk-up music would be, because it would probably (a) change from one day to the next, and (b) be defiantly idiosyncratic. Today might be Doc Watson playing "Way Downtown."

However, if Chris Britton makes the team, I might suggest Howlin' Wolf's "Three Hundred Pounds of Heavenly Joy."

I wondered about that and in keeping with an emerging Queen theme I'm wondering if somehow 'Fat Bottom Girls' might not be appropriate for Mr. Britton.

Farnsworth's would have to be Thin Lizzy's 'Waiting for an Alybi' me thinks.

I'd pick Baba O' Reilly (Who), TNT (AC/DC), Long Way to the Top If You Want to Rock N Roll (AC/DC), Thieves and Liars (Ministry), Start Me Up (Stones), opening music to Killing in the Name (Rage Against the Machine).

here's a few more to throw out there ...

The Thing That Should Not Be ... metallica
Voodoo Child ... Hendrix
Immigrant Song ... Zeppelin

Yankees: BDP "South Bronx," Dictators "Next Big Thing," solo Lou Reed version of "Sweet Jane," Moondog once in a blue moon, Talking Heads "Mind"

Debate over.

Me? I'd walk up to the plate to the intro music to Deep Purple's "Knockin' on your Back Door"

I always thought that Karim Garcia should use this song:

;-)

1. Pearl Jam-Even Flow

2. Zeppelin-Battle of Evermore (you know the part where they sing about the ringwraiths)

3. Metallica-Wherever I Roam

4. Guns n Roses-Welcome to the Jungle

5. Pink Floyd-The Wall Part 2

The Who-Pinball Wizard

Actually, I already sing that for Jim Thome.

I still think Kyle Farnsworth should warmup to Every Rose Has its Thorn

Prior to the paragraph that mentions it the first album I thought of from this post was indeed The Bends! Weird...

"Wanted" by Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers.

I would go up to Metallica's "I Disappear" because I wouldn't be at the plate (or in the majors) for very long. ;)

And out of curiosity, can players choose anything or are they restricted by music rights?

"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC would be a good song to use, IMO.
"Devil's Dance" by Metallica...
"Know your Enemy" by Rage Against the Machine (for Sox games)

Ack, I'm blanking. Too much focus on metal in this post.

If I were a position player, I'd have "Slither" by Velvet Revolver.

Coming to bat, "Sexy M.F."

just because

For Joba how about "Nebraska" by Bruce Springsteen?

From the town of Lincoln Nebraska with a sawed-off .410 on my lap
Through to the badlands of Wyoming I killed everything in my path

49 LOL. Good point, joe. I'd probably make Billy Crystal look like Rod Carew...

I am so proud of the New York Yankees right now and proud to be a fan.

Doesn't Jeter come up to "The Way You Move" by Big Boi? that's a nice choice.

Send joba out to "bulls on parade" by Rage Against the Machine, I should think.

Wouldn't everyone imagine themselves as the 50 HR guy? HRs are sex and power, who doesn't love that? Nobody wants to be David Eckstein, but EVERYONE wants to be Albert Pujols. I mean, this is a fantasy, so why limit yourself? The only way I could see dreaming of being a speedy, toolsy-guy is if that guy is Ricky Henderson or Ty Cobb, and they were so much more than that.

I was kind of thinking I would work my way through albums, you know, all of Beck's Midnite Vultures or Sgt. Pepper's, just to keep it interesting. But if I had to choose one song, I'd probably go with Toots's "Pomps and Pride"

my buddy came out his wedding reception to that. classic.

Back in black ACDC

Ironman Black Sabbath

Crazy train Osborne

8th commandment Sonata Arctica

Not to mention the 'wrecking' of Yankee Stadium, I hate to see so much tradition lost. And it really bothers me that the new Stadium will cost $1.3+ billion, and it doesn't even have a roof.

Zack, I always see myself as Curtis Granderson, not Pujols. Maybe it's because I'm smaller than Eckstein (but still don't care that he's short).

I'd like to see Giambi step up to "Wenches and Mead" by Alestorm. Robinson Cano; Gamma Ray's "Shine On." Joba, I think, should come out to something like Candlemass, though "Run to the Hills" is a solid choice. For the Yankees as a whole, "Champagne Bath," Sonata Arctica.

Barry Zito should warm up to "Z.I.T.O." by Angra. Manny Ramirez? "Sweet Leaf," by either Black Sabbath or Green Carnation, pick the version you like. Over in LA, Torre's designated 'guy who will pitch too many innings' should get the choruses of "Do It Again" and "Dirty Work" by Steely Dan.

In basketball, Sam Cassell should always be introduced to "Big Balls," by AC-DC.

DJ Shadow's Midnight in a Perfect World,
http://youtube.com/watch?v=54_7m-CVTMY

If I was Matsui, something by DJ Krush, maybe Kemuri, http://youtube.com/watch?v=aVjgRlto8PI

Joba's theme should be "When the Lights Go Out" by the Black Keys. It's got a great rhythmic-yet-intimidating blues hook, and the refrain is "You'll know what the sun's all about when the lights go out."

A-Rod's theme should be "Stronger" by Kanye West.

Me? My theme would be something like "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man" by Muddy Waters.

If a pitcher warming up it would be:
"Cochise" by Audioslave
"Club Foot" by Kasabian

If I had 21 minutes to spare during a rain delay it would be either:
"2112" by Rush or, if everyone in the stands wanted to smoke out during the delay, "Echos" by Pink Floyd
