Taking a closer look at walkup music

We occasionally like to have some fun here, look at stuff like bucket kicking and fun junk like that. Plus with the negativity and losing lately, it’s nice to get some humor in our baseball lives.

The Indians site has linked to a story on the walk-up tunes for some of the batters. I’ve always been fascinated in that type of stuff. I’m not into music, but it’s funny to just make fun of silly songs or whatever. There was a point where Travis used to come up to the Brock Lesnar entrance theme, and I found that pretty funny.

Here is the article that gets some information from the players and a professional critique on what they pick. Dellucci’s is pretty funny, and while he hasn’t used the Godfather Theme yet, I’d love to hear him do it.

Garko’s explanation is probably the best, and I can’t say I wouldn’t do the same thing. Just let C.C. pick it.

“(Pitcher) C.C. (Sabathia) picks my walk-up songs. He listens to better music. I just go to and ask what I should go to now, and he always has something good for me. He pays attention on the days that he’s not pitching on which songs I hit good with and which ones I should stick with and which ones I should not go with.” (MLB.com)
