If you could have your own walk up song...

I spent way too much time considering options.

I was really tempted to go with something new, from an up and coming band that could use the (limited) exposure.

But I decided to go with this.

Not another Pixies tune -- "Here comes Your Man"?

[Dr. Unk]

Loved Rush, Motorhead and SOD.

Can't post mine or play it, but hypothetically, Pantera F'ng Hostile.

The other options were Broken Face or Tony's Theme.

If my name was Tony....

I love Black Francis, I mean Frank Black, I mean Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV, but come on, Kim is the bomb.

In all seriousness, I was thinking of TV show intros like Knight Rider or Airwolf.

Real music I'd have this first:

 

[Big Al]

This would be my walk up.

And this would be the music played if I were a closer coming in from the bullpen.

The Pixies still rock.  I saw them a few years before Covid hit.

First that comes to mind...

Walk up: Ted Nugent - Stranglehold 

Bonus: Closer walk out - Van Halen - I’m the one

Normally I would pick a song with a determined bad MF kind of vibe and probably some heavy guitar. But then I got to thinking about hitting in baseball and all the emotions and sports psychology that goes into that moment. Not only does it take that confidence, but you've also got to feel loose, and you've got feel relaxed. Sometimes you might have to be patient waiting for your pitch. You don't want to be overly aggressive and fall into the pitchers hands. You also don't want to be too conservative and take good pitches.

So a song that provides a positive vibe and allows for focus is a good thing. Bonus if it can get the crowd in the stadium singing along.

Honestly not sure what I'd pick, but I could imagine the crowed singing along to the "O-OH!" part of Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer. Especially for an Orioles player.

Easy.  First song for the first half of the season.  Second song for second half + playoffs.

LMAO. I hate you for bringing up old memories of an ex that loved this song.
