A.L. MUSIC ALL-STARS
ESPN's Page 3 has a list of the songs that Major League players like to hear when they come up to bat. David and I have talked about this subject for years. I've always wondered myself what players around baseball like to hear. Well, wonder no more.
Name that tune, A.L. style
These are my American League Music All-Stars (1 player from each team)
In order of divisional standings:
NEW YORK YANKEES --- RHP Mike Mussina, Scorpions "The Zoo"
BOSTON RED SOX --- 1B Doug Mientkiewicz, Pantera "Walk"
TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS --- OF Rocco Baldelli, Led Zeppelin "Whole Lotta Love"
BALTIMORE ORIOLES --- OF B.J. Surhoff, Dire Straits "Sultans of Swing"
TORONTO BLUE JAYS --- RHP Josh Towers, Jane's Addiction "Just Because"
MINNESOTA TWINS --- C Joe Mauer, Joe Walsh "Life's Been Good"
CHICAGO WHITE SOX --- 3B Joe Crede, Godsmack "Voodoo"
CLEVELAND INDIANS --- 1B Ben Broussard, Tom Petty "Runnin' Down A Dream"
DETROIT TIGERS --- RHP Jason Johnson, Metallica "Enter Sandman"
KANSAS CITY ROYALS --- OF Matt Stairs, Stone Cold Steve Austin's WWF/WWE theme
OAKLAND ATHLETICS --- LHP Barry Zito, Incubus "Megalomaniac"
TEXAS RANGERS --- 1B Mark Teixeira, Jimi Hendrix "All Along The Watchtower"
ANAHEIM ANGELS --- OF Darin Erstad, Creed "One"
SEATTLE MARINERS --- 2B Bret Boone, P.O.D. "Boom"
However, the all-time Mariner at-bat song for me is Sweetwater's "Superstar", when Rich Amaral came to the plate. They used it earlier this season for SS Rich Aurilia, which was a travesty. Aurilia's no superstar, not without Barry Bonds protecting him.
N.L. musical selections will be released tomorrow.
