Nationals’ Gerardo Parra brings more than the Parra Shark phenomenon...

As Gerardo Parra explained it back in mid-June, he chose that “Baby Shark” song as his walk-up music for a change of pace and because his daughter liked it.

“I wanted to put up something different,” Parra said after going 2 for 4 with a double, home run, and outfield assist on a play at the plate in a June 19th game against the Phillies in D.C.

“My daughter loves that song, so before the game I tried to put in merengue, reggaeton, hip-hop, I said, you know what I want to put in ‘Baby Shark’.
