Here’s something fun that Townsman Hrrundivbakshi put together last fall and is worth bringing back to The Main Stage today. (For future reference, most baseball-related pieces should be tagged “baseball,” as this one was. Those of you reveling in the start of the greatest season of all sports may want to click on the tag at the bottom of this post to see other baseball-themed pieces from the past.)
Now that’s what I call walk-up music!
You’ve got a future as a baseball PA announcer, you kook!
Dude, thanks for the walk-up tune, but 52 is my number? I must have been low in the depth chart. Actually, that IS appropriate. Hopefully, the starting center fielder recovers from his groin pull, er, strain really soon. Until then, I’m just happy to help the club, the good Lord willing.
Finally got around to listening to this. Great stuff! Thanks for the walk-up tune as well!
I also wanted to thank Fritz for the shout out intro. I love “Holidays In The Sun”
And Mr Mod is right – you have the perfect voice for announcing!
I am quietly — no, loudly — proud. Notice Oats is the only guy who actually got a hit. The rest of you suck eggs!
After listening to this montage a few times, I think my fave walk-up tune — somewhat surprisingly — is “Revolution” by the Beatles. Agree? Of these choices, I mean.
HVB
I liked Hello There, but it would work best for a leadoff man or a pinch hitter.
I agree about Hello There. Revolution is a really good song for any position in the line up but Hello There is genius for the lead off batter.
Not only does HVB have an excellent announcer voice, but some of these guys have fantastic baseball names. Jim Slade? Charlie Carr? Come on.
By the way, I was SORELY disappointed with our President’s opening throw today. After his poor performance in the 2009 All-Star Game I thought for sure he’d take some time out from pushing through healthcare reform and leading the free world to work on his toss from the mound. To his credit he threw from the mound, not in front of it, but the result was horrible. I’m beginning to worry that Obama’s got Steve Blass Disease. Maybe next year he can shag a fly ball in center field, a la the rehabilitated Rick Ankiel.
That was silly. Well, best of luck to your baseball teams this year. Me, I barely know I home run from a home fry.
Also, for lack of a current potpourri place to post this, I’ll just put this link here:

That’s cool, cher. Thanks. Feel free to use your Back Office privileges to post some of your findings. You don’t have to do any fancy set up. You always come up with cool things to chew on.
I think Obama was so bad he messed up Lannan’s release point by osmosis.
I may have to bring back the Comment of the Month aware for that one, mockcarr!
