FanPost Friday: Better walk up songs!
Photo by Jim Davis/The Boston Globe via Getty ImagesPicking a good walk up song seems like an art form. Some guys seem to just pick a jam they are into in the moment, that’s a lot of fun and hypes them up, while other players manage to pick songs that seem to speak to who they are as people, or even to the franchise as a whole — I’m looking at you Ian Kinsler, using a Motown song as your walk up, and keeping it the same as a “Superstition.”
Some songs are fun, getting fans excited to see a player come to the plate, while others are boring and overdone. Also why do some guys pick songs with lyrics so profane they can only play the opening bars?
