ABSTRACT
Every major league baseball player has a “walk-up song.” It’s the anthem played in the stadium as the player is walking from the on-deck circle and getting ready to bat. It creates the swagger, the identity for the player. Is he a hip-hop guy? A classic rock guy? A weird song guy? In all cases, the song is supposed to get the player psyched to hit a 96-mph fastball and the crowd amped up for a big at bat. Woo-hoo. Ballplayers now list their walk-up song next to their batting average and RBIs.
