data-mm-id=”_e2ttiteiu”>Baseball is a unique sport for many reasons, one of which is that every player gets to choose introduction music that plays every time they enter the game. Walk-up songs, as they are known, are an art form. If a great player chooses a great walk-up song, they become synonymous. Even casual baseball fans know that Mariano Rivera always came out to "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. Or that Charlie Sheen's character in Major League always came out to "Wild Thing" by The Troggs. Thus, we present to you a list of the best walkup songs for the 2022 MLB season, as per MLB dotcom's walkup song database. Table Of ContentsXander Bogaerts — "X Gon Give It To Ya" by DMX Mike Mayers — "Halloween Theme" by John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter & Daniel DaviesJavier Báez — "Javy Báez El Mago" by D.OZi Austin Riley — "Stone Cold Steve Austin Intro" by Stone Cold Steve Austin Pete Alonso — "Hypnotize" by The Notorious B.I.G. Riley Adams — "All The Small Things" by Blink-182 Andrew Vaughn — "Welcome To The Show" by Cody Johnson Ty France — "Good Life" by Kanye West Xander Bogaerts — "X Gon Give It To Ya" by DMX Other than the fact that this is a badass song that should strike fear into the hearts of opposing pitchers, Bogaerts choosing a song that matches up with his name automatically qualifies him for a spot on this list. Xander is a very unique name and the All-Star shortstop plays into it with his walkup song. It helps that he's one of the more dangerous bats at his position in the league. A tremendous choice that should never change, even if he apparently added "Nail Tech" by Jack Harlow into the rotation this year. Mike Mayers — "Halloween Theme" by John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter & Daniel DaviesNo real explanation needed here. The Angels pitcher may not be a household name but Michael Myers is pervasive throughout pop culture and Mayers leans into it completely. It's much better that he's a pitcher, too. Imagine standing in the box and the Halloween theme plays for the full 90 seconds it takes for Mayers to get from the bullpen to the mound? The mind games start early and never cease. Javier Báez — "Javy Báez El Mago" by D.OZi I mean, when you've got an entire song named after you, how do you not use it as a walkup song? The Tigers shortstop had this song made about him by fellow Puerto Rican D.OZi that also ties in his El Mago nickname. Regardless of how good the song actually is or how fitting it may be for a baseball game, it's tough to top this. More Articles About the Best of MLB:

My best betBroncos -3 (-105 at BetMGM)
My analysisThe Las Vegas Raiders have won nine of the last 10 matchups in this divisional rivalry and eight straight. However, the Denver Broncos are ready to buck that trend, and it’s all thanks to their defense. They’ve only allowed 13.8 points per game, which …

Thomas Tuchel is not worried about upsetting Chelsea’s players by admonishing them during games and said he has mellowed on the touchline in recent years, admitting “nobody was safe” from him at the start of his managerial career.
Tuchel showed his ruthless side when he substituted Callum Hudson-Odoi on and off during Chelsea’s draw with Southampton last month and he was heard criticising Timo Werner’s positioning during his side’s win over Everton on Monday. The former Paris Saint-Germain manager told the forward in German: “Timo, how long are you staying on the left? You’re playing on the right! The last 15 minutes you’ve only been on the left! Don’t you understand?”

1) Ten Hag confuses with Casemiro derby decision
Erik ten Hag is nothing if not a Serious Football Man, but there was an element of comedy about Manchester United’s unravelling at the Etihad. It was there in the comment from Ten Hag that Cristiano Ronaldo did not appear “out of respect for his big career”. That may or may not be a brilliant caustic joke. More significantly it was there on Casemiro’s face as he came on with the game already dead, having worked his way through five Champions League medals only to discover that, in fact, he’s not as good as Scott McTominay. So, some useful information there for the Brazilian. Ten Hag is the latest United manager caught between ill-…
Brendan Rodgers has insisted any offence taken by Philippe Clement over comments the Celtic manager made in relation to Saturday’s Old Firm derby is “without merit”.
Rodgers’ opposite number at Rangers claimed his rival lacked respect after promising Celtic would have “a bit of fun” in what is being widely billed as a title decider. Celtic lead Rangers by three points with the same number of Premiership games remaining.
“I think anyone who was at my press conference would have sensed the way in which it was said,” Rodgers said. “The reaction to that is totally without merit. It has no context whatsoever.
“I have never referred to these [games] other than being intense, b…
Four teams emerged as winners in the quarterfinals of The International Sunday, as Team Liquid, Cloud9, Tundra Esports and Gaimin Gladiators all advanced to the upper bracket semifinals in Copenhagen, Denmark.

That's the word from Peter Kafka. He reports: People familiar with both companies say they haven't agreed on final terms, but are now negotiating exclusively and have agreed on a price: If the transaction goes through, Time Warner's cable network unit is set to pay more than $200 million for the sports site. Two hundred million dollars. That'll buy a lot of unpaid contributors! Turner wants a sports site—it manages NBA.com and PGA.com but owns neither—after it split from managing Sports Illustrated's site. Why not just buy one? Kafka reports that SI and Bleacher Report's monthly traffic (roughly 9 million uniques a month, according to comScore) is about the same. Turner nearly bought Bleacher Report last month before backing out. [ AllThingsD] …
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager will miss the rest of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, the team announced today. He has some excellent company on the disabled list, joining a solid crew of teammates that currently includes Justin Turner, Yasiel Puig, Logan Forsythe, Rich Hill and Julio Urias. Hampered by those injuries, the team has gotten off to a 12-15 start—and losing Seager, the 2016 Rookie of the Year, is the most serious blow yet. The Dodgers don’t have great depth at short to replace him; utility man Enrique Hernandez can work there, and they’ve called up non-prospect rookie Breyvic Valera as another option, but neither of those choices feels particularly heartwarming when the goal is to replace a guy who’s earned MVP votes in each of his two maj…
Some people are fans of the Cleveland Browns. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Cleveland Browns. This 2015 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Cleveland Browns: Your 2014 record: 7-9. I’m as stunned as you are. They should hang a banner. Your coach: Mike Pettine. Keep in mind that the Browns fired poor Rob Chudzinski after just one season, and Pettine was the only person out there willing to replace him. And how did the Browns reward him for volunteering to throw himself into the dumpster fire? By having their moron GM send illegal texts to the sideline during games to actively bitch about Pettine’s handiwork. Only the Browns could find a way to cheat (and get caught and punished) in a way that o…
