HUMOR.
Want to talk about one of the most underrated facets of Major League Baseball? How about the guilty pleasure of fans, players and ballpark employees everywhere?
Introduction music.
That’s right. For batters, it’s known as walk-up music. For starting pitchers it’s a warm-up song, and for relievers it’s entry music.
For the fans, it’s fun.
Nothing gets the casual fan more hype than jamming out to a great song at the ballpark. Hitters feel the same way. Picking the perfect song before each at-bat could lead to a good outcome. Of course, the opposite is true as well.
For pitchers, it could be the difference between getting that extra mile per hour on your fastball. You need to get that adrenaline flowing big time before you deliver that first pitch. That’s why the sounds of the game are so important.
For the Philadelphia Phillies, it’s been a disappointing season—one worthy of new intro songs. That’s right. I’m going to pick an intro song for all 25 players on this roster.
Of course, some of this is going to be complete satire. I really just couldn’t help myself.
