Keith Foulke has no song he comes out to. He does go about blowing snot rockets on the mound though.

 

With Rob Dibble's new Metrosexual look, if he ever came out of retirement and played in a senior league as a closer his song should be "Its Raining Men".

I've seen Graves enter to "Wolfpac Theme" and "Time to Play"...

 

He and Casey are big fans of WWE and often use Wrestling themes.

Jason Giambi also used to come out to the Wolfpac Theme.

yep...wrestling themes are quite popular for obvious reasons (music with the same intent)...

Screw Billy Wagner, the real "Enter Sandman" by Metallica is Mariano Rivera.

I think Wagner's been using that since '96 or '97, so unless Rivera's use of it dates back that far (wasn't the closer in '96, IIRC), screw Mariano Rivera.

97 seems right-ish for Enter Sandman here, but I totally lose track of things like that.

John Rocker used to use "I Wanna Rock" before the stupid shit hit the fan

John Rocker is actually a pretty nice guy.

Two players on the LI Ducks (independent minor league team -- Carlos Baerga played for them before making a comeback) had Bret Hart's theme. I was marking out when I heard that.

He is a saint compared to David Wells.

How about this, it may be the first ever documented "Closer Tneme" but Sparky Lyle of the Yankees used to come from the bullpen to the playing of "Pomp and Circumstance"

 

Also John Franco uses the old Chuck Berry song "Johnny B. Goode" which may be the oldest song still in current usage amongst ANY closer/batter themes

 

Actually true story, first time out the Mets played the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson when Franco pitched, Franco HATED it and told them to use Johnny B Goode
