Walk-up Music

by Jim McLennan on Jul 6, 2008 4:07 PM EDT

The Republic today published a list of the music used by Diamondbacks players. If you were a player, what would your theme-song be? Or, as an alternative, care to suggest some more appropriate songs for the current players? With regard to the latter, here are a few nominations:

Chris Snyder, Great Balls of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis
Eric Byrnes, Help! - The Beatles
Chad Qualls, Inherited Hell - Nuclear Assault
Mark Reynolds, Swing! Brother, Swing! - Billie Holliday
Orlando Hudson, Hand in Glove, The Smiths
Augie Ojeda, Little Man (I Love You) - Atmosphere
Doug Davis, The Great Curve - Talking Heads
Conor Jackson, I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash
Randy Johnson, Justified & Ancient - The KLF
Justin Upton, Too Much Too Young - The Specials
and finally:
For our entire offense, Release the Bats - The Birthday Party

I don't know about a song for any specific player

But if I was a closer, I’d want to hear Iron Maiden’s Hallowed Be Thy Name every time I come in for the ninth inning.

Dear Josh Byrnes: Please DFA Chris Burke. Give D'antona a chance. Trade for someone that actually knows how to hit.

by Zephon on Jul 13, 2008 2:35 AM EDT 0 recs

Yeah

Iron Maiden would be pretty sweet. Maybe The Wicker Man or Aces High.
