I took in a lot of baseball last week, first at the Cubs/Nationals game with Sarah from Was It For This and we saw something no person should ever see:
Covering Your Ass FAIL.
Ew.
I also went this past Sunday’s Padres/Nationals game with the MoCo crew to celebrate Sarah’s birthday/Sarah & Falkor’s farewell. It was quite the game, after the Nationals lost the lead in the 9th with two outs left, Austin Kearns hit a walk-off single in extra innings to end the ball game. That’s right, that Nationals won. I don’t know if it’ll ever happen again, so I snapped a photo:
Another Curly "W" for the Nats!
Anyways with all the ball games I’ve been to, I’ve been thinking about some of the nuances of the game, more specifically the walk-up music.
Now Adam Dunn has a cool walk-up song: Phil Collins’ In The Air Tonight. Everytime I hear it at the game I can’t help but think of a memorable scene from The Hangover:
“It’s my favorite part.”
Also memorable on the Nats: Anderson Hernandez who walks up to Lilu‘s favorite diddy.
Besides WWE, there aren’t many other sports where the players get a theme song every time they come up to play.
But what if we got our own songs, little clips that would play when you entered a meeting or when you walk up to your desk. It’s like a little song to pump you up or your imaginary audience, something to get you going for the day.
If you had to pick a song to be your walk-up song what would it be?
