SEATTLE, WASHINGTON APRIL 01: David Bednar 53 and Austin Wells 28 of the New York Yankees celebrate their win against the Seattle Mariners at TMobile Park on April 01, 202in Seattle, by Steph Chambers MLB has been saturated with closer entrances, and like Josh, I find it to be closer entrances, like any other enduring cultural bit that baseball has to offer, work because they are organic, spontaneous, and sincere rooted in the fan experience, or at least embraced by fans, instead of being forcefully planted by management to drive engagement.Making every darn closer have an entrance defeats the purpose of having closer entrances in the first place; it is the antithesis of originality, and of , I do love music, and Josh's article got me thinking about the unexplored potential of music at the ballpark.A major problem with the vast majority of songs used for closer entrances is that there's not much thematic and emotional variety among if not all songs serve as fight songs, highlighting the entering pitcher's prowess and signaling the opposing team's 's fun when it works Enter Sandman and Hells Bells are the obvious examples but when you start assigning tunes to every closer, it becomes increasingly difficult to make each song and each closer stand out, and you end up with a gelatinous mass of rahrah music that pleases no the problem Trent Grisham Jersey, it seems to me, is is that the current crop of closer entrance music fails to celebrate the individuality of each closers are overpowering, while some get by on guile; some are utterly dominant, but some just aren't that diversity should be reflected in the music associated with second is that the songs cover an extremely limited range of emotions Elston Howard Jersey, even though baseball can elicit a wide variety of , belligerence, adrenaline, and bravado are part of the game but so is sadness, or levity, or cruel irony, or childlike is a profound humanity that we can access when we let baseball move that only certain emotions are valid is a disservice to ourselves and the is in this spirit that I propose giving every Yankees reliever a closer MLB is hellbent on making entrances a thing for every team, then why not go a step further and make it a thing for not just closers, but every bullpen arm? Yes, the vast majority of them will cycle in and out of the majors without ever making a does not mean they are a collective sense, they are indispensable, as every MLB team needs a boatload of arms to navigate the 162game as individual athletes, they deserve recognition for having made it, however briefly, to the highest echelon of the , without further ado, here are the songs I chose for every Yankees reliever who was on the big league roster on Opening Day, with an attendant blurb explaining my already had strong walkout songs, in which case I did not assign them new songs, only writing a blurb on why I liked their song.I present them to you in reverse alphabetical order, for the sole reason that this way I get to start with Ryan Yarbrough and work my way to David Yarbrough Current: Sade Smooth OperatorVerdict: No change neededIn terms of aura, the lanky Mariano Rivera Jersey, unassuming, workmanlike Yarbrough couldn't be further from the slick lover boy who is the protagonist of this when you consider the amount of deception that Yarbrough employs to survive in the majors with 1stpercentile velocity, the song becomes a perfect fit.I propose that Yarbrough should walk out to this wearing a white tux and a bowler hat over his uniform, and slowly shed the tux as he approaches the WinquestCurrent: NoneNew: Intro The Real Adventures of Jonny QuestYou can tell I put a lot of thought into this I'll revisit this once we learn more about Winquest this year, but for now this will have to HillCurrent: 2Pac So Many TearsVerdict: No change neededI didn't clock Tim Hill as a 2Pac fan, but it makes sense given his upbringing in Los song choice was surprising too, as 2Pac's bars deal with some heavy, heavy stuff poverty, violence, and suicidal , it's not like Hill has lived a carefree losing his father to colon cancer at the age of 16, Hill himself was diagnosed with the same illness during spring training of 2015, missing the entire year and enduring a brutal round of chemotherapy to recover and fight his way to the am I to tell him he can't enter games to 2Pac?Brent HeadrickCurrent: NoneNew: BEYOOOOONDS Hooke No Housoku Hooke's LawAs with Cade Winquest, I know next to nothing about Brent Cade Winquest, Brent Headrick does not have a fun surname that I can make a stupid pun about.I spent hours staring at a blank page before I found salvation on Headrick's Baseball Savant page.
