The batting intro music is the great privilege of the baseball player. Granted, there are strict limits on taste, but it’s still a regular opportunity to realize everyone’s lifelong dream. After all, who wouldn’t want a song to accompany them every time they entered a room? My personal favorite has always been Nationals/Yankees Nick Johnson using Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack”, because when I think of bringing sexy back, I think Nick Johnson.

Leave the goofy stuff to the pros, Baker.↵
