Step Up to the Plate - Sweep the Series

We have discussed in previous posts(1) & (2) about the music that is best suited to be played when coming up to bat.  The website, The At Bat Music Project has done a real nice job compiling a list of songs players use before coming to bat. 

Some quick highlights:

• Eric O' Flaherty of Atlanta uses Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen."  ???
• Kevin Youkilis of Boston comes out to Biz Markie's "Just a Friend." 
• The Yankees' Mark Teixeira uses Run-DMC's  "It's Tricky."
• Arizona's Jason Kubel's two options are both Beastie Boys songs
• Two players use Bob Marley songs.
• Three players use the Outfield's "Your Love."

The Dodgers Andre Either is an old school rap fan using Snoop Dogg's "What's My Name," or, one of my personal favorite's Ice Cube's "Check Yo Self (remix)"
The Phillies & ex-Phillies seem to use the craziest collection of songs.

• Chooch has switched songs to Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight."
• Raul Ibanez uses Rush's "Tom Sawyer."
• Catcher Rod Barajas uses Dr. Dre's "Nuthin' but a G Thing"
• Jason Bartlett uses Kris Kross' "Jump." 

It's a fun list that I'm sure you can find something amusing.

One final note; the new organist of the Chicago White Sox has been playing "Ghost Town" by the Specials since attendance has been  down.  Awesome!
