Josh Hamilton likes to walk up to a mix of "This Life" (Mercy Me), "I Used To Do It" (LeCrae), "Sing A Song" (Third Day), and "Showstopper" (Toby Mac). What would your song be?
A week or so ago, a bunch of the Aerys MLB writers and I got into a lengthy discussion about walk-up songs. I mean, it’s a tough decision. People judge you based on your choice. (Wait, that’s just me? Oh…) So we thought it would be fun to share our choices with you.
Stacey Gotsulias (New York Yankees – Second Place Is Not An Option) – “A View To A Kill” by Duran Duran
Sarah Tyson (Tampa Bay Rays - Cowbell Clankers) – “American Girl” by Tom Petty
Stephanie Dioro (Baltimore Orioles – Charm City Yakuu) - ”Ievan Polkka” (Eva’s Polka) by Loituma
Jessica Harrison (Detroit Tigers - Motown Lowdown) – “I’m So Paid” by Akon
Cheryl Norman (Chicago White Sox – South Side Hit Girl) – “Fire” by Ingrid Michaelson
…followed by “Africa” by Toto
Tamara Davis (Oakland A’s – Oaktown Breakdown) – “Come Into My World” by Kylie Minogue
Ashley Varela (Seattle Mariners - Needle Ball) – “Let It Rock” by Kevin Rudolf
Laura Schulte (Texas Rangers – Big Game Claws) – “Batter Up” by Nelly
[EDITOR NOTE: My #1 choice would have been "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by BSB, but felt there maybe shouldn't be multiple BSB songs on this list. Wait. It's my site...]
Miriam Diaz (Miami Marlins – A Fishy Situation) – “Enter Sandman” by Metallica
Christine Coleman (St. Louis Cardinals – Aaron Miles Fastball) – “Born To Run” by Bruce Springsteen
Terri Schlather (Houston Astros – Tales From the Juicebox) – “When You Were Young” by The Killers
Greis Perez (Houston Astros - Tales From the Juicebox) - “Sexy Back” by Justin Timberlake
Julie DiCaro (Chicago Cubs - A League of Her Own) – “North Side Gal” by J.D. McPherson
Carl Gierhan (Chicago Cubs – A League of Her Own) – “It’s Raining Men” by Weather Girls
Mackenzie Gyver (San Francisco Giants – Third Street Kings) – “Quit Playing Games with My Heart” by Backstreet Boys
Elise Myers (Around the Horn) – “Run the World (Girls)” by Beyonce
So, what would your walk-up song be?

I think this might be my favorite Tune-In Tuesday EVER!
By the way, I TOTALLY judge players on their walk up music….and rightfully so in my humble opinion.

Considering that Justin Turner is currently using Call Me Maybe, I don’t blame you for judging people on their walk-up music.

This is a random one, but I would use Duane Eddy’s/Traveling Wilbury’s “The Trembler”. It’s all instrumental to begin with but I think it would sound pretty badass to walk up to.

It’s all about the beginning of the song!

If we’re not the greatest thing to ever happen to the internet, I don’t care to know what is.

I should’ve picked “Stand By Your Man” by Tammy Wynette as my alternate (with RISP).

Too perfect, Carl. Two perfect. Honestly, I want to see a music guy play “It’s raining men” after a grand slam or a bases clearing double. This needs to happen.
