River Ave BluesOver at Bronx Banter, Emma Span takes a look at one of baseball’s age-old questions: If you were a Major Leaguer,what would your at-bat music be? I’d probably go with some old-school Pearl Jam myself. The beginning of “Animal” gets the adrenaline flowing.

First 10-12 seconds of No Way Out by Pennywise, hands down.
Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix.
Pink Floyd “Time” at around 1 minute in, peaking at 1:25 or so.
any calypso by ruben sierra. best at bat music ever.
Ice Cube’s “Wicked”
Unfortunately, at this stage in my life it would have to be “Yakety Sax”
On second thought Metallica’s “Damage Inc.”
No doubt it would be super star by Lupe fiasco
Close second is Champion by Kanye
Rivera doesnt even know the words to Enter the Sandman. Kinda takes some of the meaning out of a song.

“Mamma Said Knock You Out” - LL Cool J
Complete Control by The Clash
yup.
or Tommy Gun.
I always dreamed of walking up to ” Another one bites the dust ” by queen.
I’d definitely be the intro riff from Cochise by Audioslave.. it’s the one they use in the ironman trailer
Superstar by Lupe would def be a top choice, also Rompe by Daddy Yankee, Reggaeton Latino Remix by Don Omar, and Rica Y Apretadita by El General.
Great call on Animal.
I’d have to go for Leash.
Lose Yourself deffinitely
especially for A-Rod in the playoffs.
No doubt Uptown Girls, Billy Joel
I think if you’re going to go Billy Joel you have to say “Pressure”
I like “Mamma Said Knock You Out” by LL Cool Jay but I think I’d have to go with “New Noise” by Refused!
Nice choice
Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. Out of nowhere you juust here the scream ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know its cliche but its got the best intro ever, Randy Rhoads guitar, Ozzy’s voice, perfection.
Maybe Rape Me by Nirvana. The ending where Kurt just howls RAPE ME!!!! over and over again is just creapy
Mark wins. “New Noise” is an AMAZING song.
If I was a closer, I’d come in to “Don’t Fear The Reaper”
I hear that song needs more cowbell though.
“Welcome to the Jungle”

sweet carolineAnimal would be nice, Leash would be pretty good also, but if you’re a PJ-loving Bomber fan, you gotta go with Corduroy…
The waiting drove me mad!
You’re finally here and I’m a mess…
“Pinball Wizard”
With the eyes going and the hearing not far behind, “plays by sense of smell” pretty much describes my game.
nothin but a G, thang
“Thunderstuck” AC/DC
“My Hero” Foo Fighters
“Cold Hard Bitch” Jet
“When The Levee Breaks” Zep
Sorry for so many, just couldn’t decide.
Either Machinehead by Bush or the intro to Privilege by Incubus
ehhh or the intro to Lakini’s Juice by live
“(I’m Your) Hoochie Coochie Man” by Muddy Waters.
Call me an old fogey, but I hate at bat music. I’d like to know who (I suspect Bill Veeck) started this annoying ritual.
Pantera - Respect
Woops… I meant Walk
Damn. Just hearing that song name has me wanting to break out Vulgar Display.
Woah… wait a minute… I think you’d have to change walk to HR. A walk isn’t bad but it doesn’t get your respect like the four bagger.
- I think I failed at this game.
“Them Bones” by Alice In Chains. Nothing is more powerful than the “OW!!” by Layne Staley to start the song.
In my first ab i already said, another one bites the dust (Queen)….
in my second ab ..smoke on the water..guitar riff(deep purple)
third ab would be..um….sunshine of your love….guitar riff (cream)
Actually, we were just talking about this in my office this morning…
I think I’d go with “Stronger” by Kanye West, especially since the Giants came out to that song for the 2nd half of the SB.
Either that, or maybe “Holy Calamity” by Handsome Boy Modeling School, or “Radio Nowhere” by Bruce.
Crazy Train
I’d want to run out of the ‘pen with the clip from Dead Kennedys’ “Holiday in Cambodia” that says, “Its time … to taste … what you most fear ….. right …. guard will not help you here…” The hitter would pee his pants man!
