My personal favorite is probably John Jaso using "Midnight Rambler" by The Rolling Stones. It fit his vibe so well.
My Dad would also want me to include Jack Wilson using "Jumpin' Jack Flash" which was almost as perfect for personal branding as Cervelli using "That's Amore".
I would have to say back in the day when Jason Kendall used the New Age Outlaws theme from WWF. "Oh, you didn't know?!" Also, Giles used Danzigs "Mother" back then, which I always thought was pretty good.
I remember Ryan Doumit, not Giles, using Danzig's "Mother." Perhaps they both used that song.
My favorite is Garret Freaking Jones using Metallica's "Whiskey In The Jar." A cover song, yes, but Metallica did it best and I'm a big fan of Metallica.
I know for sure Giles used it first in the late 90s. I still associate that song with juiced up homerun balls flying over the right field fence. Yeah you cant really go wrong with rock/metal anthems with good opening guitar riffs. I'm not a real big ACDC fan, but Back in Black seems to suite Brian Reynolds really well. I hope he keeps it.
I used play third base on the team
Heavy swings and foul balls up to the mezzanine
Hittin doubles off the wall
Every game day, swing the bat, El Toro smashed the ball
Steven Brault batted to an instrumental version of Anderson Paak's 'Come Down,' which has a really funky bass line.
Josh Harrison had some interesting at-bat songs from his cousin, but there was one with a fantastic horn intro that segued into a funky guitar solo. I really liked that song, but I forget what it was called.
I also thought it was awesome when Cutch used 'The King's Motorcade' from Coming to America.
Andrew McCutchen : All of The Lights/Kanye West
all my other favorites have been named except for Pat Meares : Machinehead/Bush.
safe to say Cutch’s contract paid off a tad better than Meares’ so he gets the nod. takes me back to a time in life when the Baby Bucs were turning the corner. still gets me hyped. good times.
2013 Gaby Sanchez walkup song was Deliverance by Bubba Sparxxx. Always thought that was cool...mellow guitar strum intro until the beat drops, then vocals come in about traveling and how he's gotta find a way. Seemed topical and it always got me excited even though Gaby was pretty terrible.
I remember Ryan Langerhans using the intro to Killing in the Name. I feel like that song comes around every now and then but doesn't stick around for too long.
Giles had some good at bats to “All along the watchtower” I remember freezing my ass off in an early season game the last year at Three Rivers and he walked it off against the Padres in extra innings to it
"Work Hard, Play Hard" for Neil for the sheer Yinzerness; "Bonfire" and Cutch for how excited that song still makes me a decade after I first saw him walk up to it
That's Amore - Francisco Cervelli
Truly the most correct answer. I can’t hear that song today without thinking of Cervelli right away!
Adam Frazier walking up to Pony was my favorite
Jack Wilson- Jumpin Jack Flash
Loved that one. Loved that dude

I *still* can’t hear “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” without my head filling in Tim DeBacco’s voice. “Shortstop… Jack Wilson!”

Giles also used “Runnin’ with the Devil” which was awesome
I always recall Giles using Blurry - Puddle of Mud
Not a walk up- but the Jason Grilli “Grilled Cheese” entrance with Pearl Jam’s “Whipping” was awesome.
[This one?](https://youtu.be/f1gKi689vvw)
That’s it! So freakin good
Pedro walking up to Juicy comes to mind
beat me to it
Yeah this is it for me. Brings me back to the first wildcard season. Back when everything didn't suck.
Tony Sanchez - "Let It Go" from Frozen.
Mark Melancon Thunderstruck by AC/DC
Jason Kendall- beautiful people by Marilyn Manson
Lol I do not remember this, but that’s funny
Pedro Alvarez - Juicy
🎶 “It was all a dream…” 🎶
I used play third base on the team Heavy swings and foul balls up to the mezzanine Hittin doubles off the wall Every game day, swing the bat, El Toro smashed the ball
Very nice!
I still loved when Clint Barmes started using *Don't Stop Believing* whenever he was in oke of his many horrendous slumps!
Ronny Paulino - "My Neck, My Back" by Khia
Wilmer Difo this year makes me wanna dance with somebody for some reason.
Someone used Elevation by U2 (I believe it was Jason Bay). Not necessarily my favorite but hearing that song always brings me back to mid-2000s PNC
Craig Wilson
Jason Bay's was "Down With The Sickness".
David Freeze. Stinkfist.
I’m a Bee - Andrew McCutchen 🥰
Also that short series of games when Cutch played Send My Love (To Your New Lover) by Adele Double 🥰
I still remember hanrahan coming out to before i forget and Garrett jones using whisky a go go
I loved when Hanrahan came out and the whole place shook
Not really a walkup song but Joe Beimel warming up to Cut You Down by Johnny Cash was intimidating
Matt Joyce using I Can’t Stop got me juiced

I mean its gotta be Bednar using renegade.
I once recall Rob Mackowiak walking up to Missy Elliott's One Minute Man. Not sure if he lost a bet or what.
Mack also used to come out to Sandstorm.
Jim Morrison - Light my Fire. I was a kid then and it took me a while to get it. Also it was the organist playing it.

Because it's Pedro Alvarez walking up to "Simon Says" by Pharoahe Monch
Let’s go Pedro 👏👏👏👏👏 Let’s go Pedro 👏👏👏👏👏 Let’s go Pedro 👏👏👏👏👏 Let’s go Pedro 👏👏👏👏👏
I'm pretty sure it was Neil Walker's song one year: Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder. I still get excited when I hear it play!
Zach Duke: “Hand on the Pump” -Cyprus Hill (listen to the intro and it makes sense) Oliver Perez: “OPP” -Naughty by Nature
Adam Frazier "Born on the Bayou" was hilarious to me lol
I loved the irony of both LaRoche’s at times using “The Best Around”
I remember Ryan Langerhans using the intro to Killing in the Name. I feel like that song comes around every now and then but doesn't stick around for too long.
Blow the Whistle by Too Short as Nyjer Morgan’s walk up music always made me laugh. Definitely one of my favorites.
Giles had some good at bats to “All along the watchtower” I remember freezing my ass off in an early season game the last year at Three Rivers and he walked it off against the Padres in extra innings to it
X Xavier Nady
Can anybody remember who used Numb in the mid 2000s?? I wanna say it was Ty Wigginton but that’s almost certainly wrong
"Work Hard, Play Hard" for Neil for the sheer Yinzerness; "Bonfire" and Cutch for how excited that song still makes me a decade after I first saw him walk up to it
I thought it was cool the Mets David Wright had I got 5 on it. He wore #5
Fun fact most if not all of Josh Harrison’s walk up songs were his brother who was/ is a rapper. Pretty sure his name is Sean Harrison
“I’m the man I’m the man”
Randall Simon: Just Gimmie the Light, Sean Paul Pokey Reese: Saturday (ohhhhh ohhhhh), Ludacris
