ShowVol, we do a very similar format. I edit all requested WU's, we follow a very strict protocol to make sure we don't offend. We get alot of nice comments about our music. It's very broad and... thanks to guitar hero, the players even recognize some of our older rock stuff from back-in-the day!
We play Sweet Caroline too. GED10DaD
Our problem with any walkup songs are:
1) Most of the kids choices in music are questionable at best. One of our rules is that we stay away from rap. Nothing against it but it usually dosen't fit in with the "family" theme.
2) Manpower in the press box. Usually, it is a two man operation doing the book, scoreboard, music, and announcing. Space is not a problem for us as we can put 12-16 comfortably inside, but most of our parents prefer to be on ground level around the concession stand.
3) Our field is fairly tight with minimal foul teritory. With our on deck area so close to the home plate area, there is minimal time for walkup music.
We are fortunate in the fact that we run our music from a laptop. All music is sync'd from 2 portable 16 gig usb memory sticks and played in Windows Media player through an amplifier. That we can have so much more music to choose from and can download more easily if needed.
