Baseball music
This list of entrance music for baseball players shows me that 1) baseball players aren’t very original and 2) baseball players don’t have very good taste. I guess I shouldn’t judge.
I was going to go through and pick a couple to point out, but there’s too much ridiculousness going on. Needless to say, many pitchers consider themselves “The Jungle” and enjoy welcoming hitters to themselves.

OK, let’s be clear. “Enter Sandman” is OWNED by Mariano. It’s his. Billy and the Mets are truly rip-off artists, I say! “Enter Sandman” was definitely Mo’s for years…and even if he is a bit shakier these days, it’s still his.
I find the idea of theme music for ballplayers to be stupid, in general, but it does make for good inane blather by sportscasters. I remember a conversation in which Don and Jerry referred to Shea Hillenbrand as “strictly a Creed man,” and that is how I will always remember him now. (To the extent that I bother to remember him, I mean.)
