Why Guardians’ Oscar Gonzalez Uses SpongeBob Theme as Walk-Up Song

Oscar González has been one of the Guardians’ biggest surprises of the season, and he’s been making an impression with an unique walk-up song. Right before he sets up to hit, the rookie outfielder uses the theme song to Spongebob Squarepants.

As for why this was his choice, González wanted his walk-up song to represent the fact that he is just playing a game. Therefore, he chose the theme song to one of the more popular kids television shows in the country.

“Because kids love that song and this is a kid’s game after all,” he said.
