Don’t lie…we’ve all dreamed at one time or another of actually playing professional sports and coming out to a packed stadium to blaring music and screaming fans. It’s human nature.
And the key ingredient to getting all pumped up and shit? Having a song that truly introduces you as ass kicker par excellence and becomes a your signature shit. All sorts of guys have music they’re associated with from Mariano Rivera coming out to “Enter Sandman” and Trevor Hoffman coming out to “Hell’s Bells” that charge up the crowd. Then you have the strange ones like Travis Hafner, who for whatever reason decides to come to the plate to John Cena’s enterance music. This is less funny than it is gay.
Anyways…what would be your song of choice when coming to bat?
Here are my two…
1. Iron Maiden “The Trooper”
2. Pink Floyd “Run Like Hell”
my batting music would be the same as my walk-out song in wrestling

The Next Episode by Dr. Dre
This is tough. Think maybe I’d come out to “Rooster”
Bombs Over Baghdad
“I will always love you” by Whitney Houston. I’d start it right at the drum beat, followed by “And IIIIIIII”
Seek and Destroy…and I’d come out with a black aluminum bat just like Sting did in WCW.
Unquestionably, this.
Also, Happy = Mike Greenberg.
Anything by New Found Glory including all of those mentioned above.
rush’s “working man” would be a good choice too.
also, if you could cue up certain parts, the guitar solo from dream theater’s “under a glass moon” would be tits.
I think Jimmy Rollins’ batting music should be “Walk” by Pantera. You know, for comedy’s sake.
spencer, that’s a dick move. I’m gonna have Geddy Lee’s voice in my head for the rest of the day.
Since Happy stole mine…Accept’s Balls to the Wall or the pissing lead-in to Gin and Juice.
Happy, my highschool buddy and I still call each other and leave voicemails of that stretch of the song if one of us stumbles upon it.
/Arisen’d
this would be my batting song
/hef
//its funnier because he isnt here to respond
///hef was kind enough to appear in the video
i thought that was a bong rip.
Is it something like this: “Baaaaa! Baaaaaa! Baaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaa!” (Cue lasers)
Pantera- Walk
It’s more like this I think
Spencer, you’re right. The sound is surprisingly similar.

I Touch Myself by Divinylis
Nice, Paris.
