Wikipedia has an (albeit incomplete) list of song choices for various major leaguers:

My song for every year is "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey who is also my favorite group.

Not only incomplete, but incorrect in many cases. Confused

(But I doubt anyone would take responsibility for updating it...)

Just my own personal experience, but I've found that since some teams list their own players' music on the official team website, it is usually more reliable in terms of listing more players, and also in terms of accuracy (since players sometimes change their theme songs). I'm not sure why all teams don't do it, since they all fall under the purview of MLB.com. (The Dodgers' list is here, if anyone cares.)

By the way, I wonder if Juan Pierre is the only guy in the majors to actually have his name called out in the song he walks up to?
Very Happy

I'm going to look it up right now on the Cards websit because I noticed a few missing. I can't remember which player but someone has a song I really like. To bad I have a bad memory or in some cases maybe that is good(lol)

I hate to date myself Francine but I used to be a serious Journey groupie. I used to wait outside the arena for them and then I would follow them to Chicago. How sad is that(lol)

OMG! Steve Perry used to go to some Dodger games, although, being from the Bay Area, Journey is said to be Jints fans. So I'm not sure what to think.
Confused

But I know he was at Hollywood Stars night. Smile

He should have been there for my Hollywood Stars Night. I guess he is too old too(lol) I would not have ducked for his fly balls. Don't laugh too hard Linda.

Scott Rolen has (or at least had) a great song for himself. Limp Bizkit's Rollin' Love that song... always have.

Amazingly, I do not know that song. But thanks for the info, I'll look it up. Smile

Edit: Well, I guess I initially did not see that listed because I looked him up under "S", instead. Now, I see he is on that Wikipedia site, after all.

At the begining of this season a few die hard Johnny Damon fans got together and burned a cd of a song they thought would fit Johnny at the bat. They sent it to him and low and behold he uses it when he bats.......I honestly can't remember the name, I have to go email my friend and ask. This fan is a lucky one, Johnny emails her on regualr basis. She is no groupie, she is just a fan who has emailed him because of a very deep emotional issue in her life and he has been very sweet, caring and supportive of her. I admire that in Johnny, he really cares for this fan's emotional well being.

Crz, I'd say it's got to be something more truly Japanese sounding--not southern rock-based.

Five years since anyone has posted in this thread, so it's time for a new round, with new players having come into the game.

Just read this article on MLB.com about walk-up music.

Let me reiterate, I'm old school, I don't think walk-up songs are necessary as part of the ballpark experience. But everything is personalized these days, and about 15 years after their debut in some ballparks, they seem to be here to stay. I still love the first walk-up song--for any player--that I can recall hearing, when this trend was new and most players did NOT have walk-up music. In this case, I think only the superstars did...but this particular one was so appropriate in its opening riff, and set the tone so well.

I'm thinking back to Qualcomm Stadium in 1998, when, en route to a Padres National League championship, third baseman Ken Caminiti led the way. As he stepped out of the on-deck circle, the opening notes of "All Along the Watchtower" played to the cheers of a packed house. I'm not even a Padre fan, but wow!!! I remember the excitement building as Jimi Hendrix weaved his magic and Cammie would follow.

But most of the songs players use...I really don't care for. I love AGon's "Mariachi Loco" and I want to hear it played in the World Series! (Yes, I've set my sights--and sounds--high!)

In the end, though, I'd rather hear Nancy Bea. And I'm not stuck in the '70s, which is when I grew up. It's just that I love baseball traditions in most circumstances.

Now, if I were to have my own walk-up music, what would it be? Good question.

Thought this was funny - Angels closer Ernesto Frieri (former Padre) is looking for the right entrance song. He is asking the fans for suggestions.
