Walk-Up Songs 2013

NWLA Hall of Famer Greg Sowards
naturally picked "Hall of Fame"

If you've ever been to a Major League Baseball game (or even a minor league game) one of the first things you'll notice your first time is that every batter has their signature walk-up song as they approach the plate. It's one of the things that players from the HWL enjoyed most about their experience of the NWLA Tournament. The organizer of the tournament, Chris Gallaway, spared no expense on making the tournament a legitimate affair but the walk-up songs made each at bat feel official. Having walk-up songs is definitely a goal the HWL has in mind for the 2014 season. Earlier in the season players received a short questionnaire used to help write the Team Tuesday articles. One of the questions was "What would your walk-up song be?" Some of the songs choices were classic arena rock anthems such as "We Will Rock You" while others selected more obscure songs like "Trololo" (wouldn't expect anything less from Jeremy). Here were the answers we received:

Greg Sowards: "Hall of Fame" by The Script

Kyle Hetrick: "Light Em Up" by Fall Out Boy

Chris Ramey: "Down With The Sickness" by Disturbed

Mike Saxton: "Thriftshop" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

Brandon Woolum: "Down With The Sickness" by Disturbed

Josh Smith: "The Distance" by Cake

Julie Smith Meadows: "We Will Rock You" by Queen
Andrew Hankins: "Galvanize" by The Chemical Brothers

Daryl Pullin: "Cortez The Killer" by Neil Young

Josh Hager: "Clique" by Big Sean

James Clagg: "UOENO" by Rocko

Randy Steel: "Mean" by French Montana

Ryan Briers: "I'm Different" by 2 Chainz

Ryan Miller: "Light Em Up" by Fall Out Boy

Trey "Dub" Hathaway: "Omerta" by Lamb of God

Jeremy Litton: "Trololo" by Edward Khil

Troy Twisdale: "The Hound (of Blood and Rank)" by Coheed and Cambria

Luke Davis: "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls

Mike Sumner: "Sober" by Tool

Hope we can get walk-up songs to happen in 2014!
