Baseball Season

This week I attended my first baseball game of this season and it couldn't have come at a better time.  Basketball season is over, football season is oh so far away, and hockey...well I really don't give a stick about hockey.  Though the home team lost, the game was exciting with like five homeruns and a total of 15 runs scored.

Though I enjoyed watching the live ball game, I was perplexed by a question that was posed to me in the middle of the game.

 

"If you were out there, what music would be playing when you come up to bat?"

 

I'm assuming the players get to choose the music that plays while they walk up to the plate.  I was really impressed with the selections by Randy Wynn, pictured to the right (who is my favorite Giant because I've had the pleasure of meeting him... super down to earth cat).  I can't even remember what songs he had chosen, but everytime he came up to bat, I seemed to not be paying too much attention to the game.  All of a sudden my head would start nodding like.."Okaaay!!!"  That was every time that Wynn came up to bat (he also had some good hits to go along with his music selections).

But when asked the question I was stumped.  I didn't want to go too obvious with Nelly's - Batter Up, Dire Straits - Walk of Life, or John Fogerty's - Centerfield.  I've actually thought about this question before and for some reason couldn't come up with an answer.  So here I am, a day later with a full mix dedicated to my last at bat.  Of course you don't get this much time from on-deck circle to the batter's box, but let's just pretend I did.

Think of the song titles in their context to the game of baseball.  They've been carefully selected to be subtle but relevant...(that is, if you're a true baseball aficionado).  Oh.. and there's a funny story that goes with this baseball game that I might be able to reveal at a later date.  ;-)
