Best Coming out songs for baseball

if you havent ever thought about having a coming out song just think of some good begginings of songs that you like. for you people that don't know what a coming out song is it about 20 sec. clip of a beggining of a song that they play over the speaker system while you make your way from the on-deck to the box

indianaman- i think the profesonals pick songs that represent them and that pump them up and help them put there game faces on. whats the reason u would wanna step up 2 the plate with bob blasting in the back ground? probably the same reason everyone else picks there..i would wanna step up 2 the plate with some rap song goin just bc the loud bass being able 2 get me ready for what lies ahead. so i think it all depends on ur personality and what puts u in that state of mind.

I worked in the bullpen for a Northern League team last summer. They had some interesting songs. An older white veteran had the rap song "lean back" as his song. A little different for a larger white guy in his mid 30s that didn't seem like the rap listening type. We also had a few country songs, ie:The Duke's of Hazard Theme song, and a Chris Ledoux song as well. There were also some of the regular hard rock songs as well.

Personally, my song for the last 2 years has been Kenny Chesney's "She Thinks My Tractor's ****." The rest of the guys hate it, but it's a fan favorite. I like the fiddle at the beginning, it gets me pumped. Don't ask me how a kid from the south side of Chicago gets pumped by fiddles, but I do.

I say don't worry too much about a song though. I've discussed having music on during bp and before at bats with a few people that think it's too much of a distraction to the player. They say it makes the player worry more about what song is playing than actually playing. I can see that argument, but I like having something on during bp that gets me going. Believe it or not, I don't really hear the music being played before I hit. It's already the background track in my head as I'm on deck checking everything out before my at bat.

I believe they are called stingers.

Ron Nen of the Giants always came out of the bullpen with "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple. My wife and I thought it was pretty cool and it always got the crowd fired up, cause when he came in to close it was usually lights out.

"YMCA" for those coming out of the closet.

Oldest son: Save a horse ride a Cowboy, Big & Rich

Middle Son: Bad Company, Bad Company

Youngest son: Crazy Train, Ozzy Ozborne the kids nuts!

How about "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood and the Destroyers?

I think Trevor has the best one bar none!
I live in San Diego and when they crank Hells Bells that place goes bonkers!!! I hope he has fully recovered from shoulder surgery because he was a bit off last year. Should be fun to watch this year.

If ours was allowed (I'm working on the coach to let them have them) my son's would be Molly Hatchet's Flirtin' With Disaster.

all great choices, but a suggestion - - - could ya refer to it as "walk up music"

a "coming out song" brings a different image - - - (not that there's anything wrong with it!!)

For you late 70's rock aficionados..the first 30 seconds of Robin Trower's "Day of the Eagle" has always been my choice.

Are there actually high school field sound systems that have the ability to do that??

We have a microphone and it's connected to a tape player that we can play the national anthem on, and we can turn up the radio in between innings, but that's about it.

Our High School, Northwest, has a great sound system. I love this thread, cause I run the
music for our Freshman games and have been trying
to come up some more ideas.
I like playing "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen when our pitchers gets a strike out.

our high school bought a system that was put onto a lab top specifically for sporting event music...its pretty fun stuff....but our baseball speakers arent the best but im hopin they are going to be upgraded soon..

For $50 bucks, you add CD player, burn a few CD's and you're there!

Only Dibble would have thought of those. I've finally found something worse than losing... dibble's song choices.
