Top 10 Baseball Entrance Songs

The best baseball entrance songs are not necessarily the best songs in general. A good intro will create a certain atmosphere amongst the fans and be something that everyone can easily get into, yet not be retarded. My criteria were these: it must be a rock song (no rap or country here, much to the chagrin of Josh Nix and the state of Texas, respectively), song isn't being played so much on the radio that it makes me want to run over kittens, active players only (with one exception, the reason for which will be obvious), and nothing by Rush. In cases where more than one player uses a certain song, I wisely chose the best player.

1o "Killing in the Name of" Rage Against the Machine - Ryan Langerhans
9 "The Final Countdown" Europe - Manny Ramirez
8 "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" Blue Öyster Cult - Aaron Heilman
7 "Kashmir" Led Zeppelin - Chase Utley
6 "Thunderstruck" AC/DC - John Smoltz
5 "Mother" Danzig - Keith Foulke
4 "All Along the Watchtower" Jimi Hendrix - Mark Teixeira
3 "Welcome to the Jungle" Guns N' Roses - Eric Gagne
2 "Enter Sandman" Metallica - Mariano Rivera
1 "Hells Bells" AC/DC - Trevor Hoffman

Even though this Conan clip is quite lengthy, it's definitely worth watching. I have nothing to say about your list however.

the conan clip was actually the first youtube clip i ever saw. it was around two years ago, and i was confused as to how i could watch many things like this on one site. anyway, this may surprise you, but i actually had this idea already, except i was going to do closer's entrance music only. weird how we thought of the same thing. and yes, i will be doing a similar list. good list though, and i've actually seen the top 3 in person.
