- Eric Byrnes, Help! - The Beatles
- Chad Qualls, Inherited Hell - Nuclear Assault
- Mark Reynolds, Swing! Brother, Swing! - Billie Holliday

and finally: - For our entire offense, Release the Bats - The Birthday Party

“Here Without You”, by 3 Doors Down
Mark Reynolds: Turning me gay since '07
Orlando Hudson/Eric Byrnes:
“Money Talks”, by AC/DC
(Too harsh?)
Mark Reynolds: Turning me gay since '07
No
It’s perfect!

Mine would definitely be

By all means hit at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me.

The entire team.
All downhill from here-New Found Glory.
The dynasty that should be the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Rap alternative....

For our three Kentucky boys: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ghRGO3t16s0
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 C. Wesley Baier on Jul 13, 2008 2:35 AM EDT reply actions
Yeah
Iron Maiden would be pretty sweet. Maybe The Wicker Man or Aces High.
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
Those are some good ones
I’m also partial to Flash of the Blade

I could definitely walks out to
AC/DC’s “For Those About to Rock” (so long as it referred to me, not the batters)
Mark Reynolds: back to turning me gay.
good choice.

soco says its a stripper song
But mine would be Pour Some Sugar on Me. The opening riff, how could you NOT be pumped by it?
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Close second
Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See
(Explicit lyrics warning, so NSFW)
Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Oh hell yeah
One of my favorite songs.
