I've seen this other places, so I figured it'd be fun to create a list of the music that is played when Mets players come up to bat/in to pitch.

Here's what I know:

Daniel Murphy- What I've Done by Linkin Park , Shipping off to Boston by The Dropkick Murphys , This Town by O.A.R.

J.J. Putz- Thunderstruck by AC/DC

Francisco Rodriguez- Sandungueso by Tego Calderon

Carlos Beltran- El Esta Aqui by David Y Abraham

Johan Santana- Smooth by Carlos Santana

Mike Pelfrey- What I Like About You by The Romantics

John Maine- Seek and Destroy by Metallica

Oliver Perez- I'm Gonna Get You by Bizzare Inc. (according to an online source)

Ryan Church- Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne

Jose Reyes- El Mudo by Chacaron (According to an online source)

Wilson Valdez- Rock You Like A Hurricane by The Scorpions

Gary Sheffield- Swagger Like Us Remix by Kanye, Jay-Z et al

Bobby Parnell- 8 Second Ride by Jake Owen

Billy Wagner- Enter Sandman by Metallica

Cory Sullivan- Icky Thump by White Stripes

Nelson Figueroa- Lose Yourself by Eminem

Feel free to add more if you know any I didn't mention

D Wright used to have You and Me by Cassie, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t use that anymore.

automatic linking FAIL

I’m pretty sure that’s the wrong Carlos Santana.

Yup, those automatic links will getcha….

That’s not quite the Carlos Santana I was talking about, haha.

Wilson Valdez was

“Rock You Like A Hurricane” by the Scorpions, which was absolutely hilarious.

Fernando Tatis

Superman Theme by John Williams

by TheBigStapler on Jul 6, 2009 4:05 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

But he switches

between the Superman theme and something else. I think he hits better with the Superman theme. Does Elias keep those stats?

Schneider's

is Creed but I can’t remember which one.

I want to say he uses Higher but I could be wrong.

May I suggest we link each song to a music video on Youtube if we can?

but not for Schneider's Creed song

because Creed sucks

Creed is to the Beatles

as Matt Cerrone is to Ted Berg.

I personally like

Jose’s, Sheff’s, Johan’s, and Murph’s second one.

I'm just waiting for someone

to come out to something less saccharine. Ideally something utterly offensive … maybe some Misfits? Tell me you wouldn’t enjoy a player come up to bat while Braineaters blares over the PA?

by Zwill on Jul 6, 2009 6:33 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs

Braineaters!

Yes!

Ballplayers have no taste, unfortunately.

Wilson Valdez, awesome

I think we all need a little more Oil Spill in our lives.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.

Links added.

Will add Schneider when I (or someone else) remembers which Creed song he comes up to.

Carlos Delgado would come out to Rompe by Daddy Yankee

For his third or fourth AB.

by All Shook Down on Jul 6, 2009 6:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Did he still use that this season? I knew he had used it in the past, but I wasn’t sure if he still did.

Parnell

Warms up to a song called 8 Second Ride by Jake Owen.

The best mainstream closer-music choices that all Major Leaguers have somehow missed, I think, are Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” and Dr. Dre’s “Keep Their Heads Ringin’.”

by TedBerg on Jul 6, 2009 10:00 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Wagner

Metallica, “Enter Sandman”. Surprised no one’s mentioned that one yet.

by BobbyV_Incognito on Jul 6, 2009 10:39 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

I actually thought about putting him on there when I first made it, and he was the one that skipped my mind.

I want someone to bust out into Iron Maiden’s “2 Minutes to Midnight” or “Aces High” one of these days. That’d be AWESOME!!! \m/

Wright's Lil' Wayne walk-up song

the beat is actually a “Fear of the Dark” sample

Not sure if he counts

but Figgy always warms up to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”

I know I'm in the minority here

but I would love to here some of these guys come out to something that no way gets you pumped up. I always thought it would be pretty funny if a guy comes up in a big situation, late in the game with men on, and instead of hard rock or hip hop, they start playing like When I’m Sixty-Four.

Yes

Agreed wholeheartedly. “Up Where We Belong” or “Sometimes When We Touch” would be good choices. Try convincing a Major Leaguer to try that though.

by TedBerg on Jul 7, 2009 6:37 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I always said that it would be great if someone came out to

“Most of All You” as a Major League tribute.

I’ve always thought about that a little bit….the Barney Theme Song anyone?

by ljshorty89 on Jul 7, 2009 7:20 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Wow

did Big Pelf lose a bad bet or something? What I Like About You? Sounds more like a song that should be used in a League of Their Own than in the MLB.

That's the winner

Never has a song been less appropriate for a player.

Personally....

I would come out to Holy Diver by Dio. Song is quite epic. Too bad I suck at baseball.

The last time I went to a game

Pedro Feliciano came in to Steppin’ Out by Joe Jackson. I’m pretty sure that was just a random selection though.

It's insane

how that Spanish song has been Beltran’s entrance ever since he came to the Mets. Four and-a-half years of the same thing! I still like it, though, and it’s obviously worked.

On a semi-related note, does anyone remember Miguel Cairo’s entrance song during his brief tenure with the Mets? It sounded like the background music to the video game for a Pixar movie. Cheesiest, most boring thing ever.

Jeremy Reed

Only comes out to Mobb Deep songs on the infamous album Shook ones Part II and Survival of the fit.

Also, how can you forget david wright coming out to DMX we right here the last two years.

I’ve been MIA for awhile because of the mets awful play. I went to Philly and saw Santana vs Blanton, that game was horrible, but the stadium was nice and even Castillo hit one out in batting practice.
