It's something I've always been captivated by, walk-up music. Walk up music is the music that is going to take you as a batter from "minding your own business while taking a few hacks in the on deck circle" to "let's destroy a pitchers composure and totally destroy a baseball" mode. It's something as a kid you would do in the sandlot. Walk to the plate humming your favorite song mentally pumping yourself up for what was sure to be the hardest pine cone ever hit (Yeah, I grew up in a third world country. We hit unopened pine cones with sticks and I've got the scar to prove it). Nothing sets the tone for any event better than music. Try me here. You have a meeting with the boss today? Bust out the headphones and listen to you favorite song while walking towards his office, you'll walk in with more confidence. On a drive to propose to your girlfriend (Andy, this means you)? Throw on your favorite jam and you'll be ready to knock the proposal out of the park! Music, it's a game changer.
That said, over the past few games I've compiled a list of songs that the Indians play for their walk up music. Now as of right now I don't think the players are choosing what music they walk up to individually. I'm hoping that this will change in the next few weeks and that each Indian gets to choose the song that they walk up to (like they do in the pro's), but as of now the walk up music is just kind of random for each team.
If you don't have Spotify, download it. Now. Get the app, get it on your PC, get it everywhere because it's awesome. Once you have it you can subscribe to the playlist below and prep yourself on your drive to the games by getting familiar with the songs you'll hear snippets of later that night.
Also, I know I'm missing a bunch of the songs so if you know some I'm missing let me know so I can add them to the playlist:
