Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted May 18, 2004 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".

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2004 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.

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.

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.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 All these songs are dull and predictable. Someone needs to come out to something like "I did it my way" by Sinatra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve J. Rogers 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2004 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 Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
