Today is opening day for the official baseball season. As such, WWCD Radio staff have all picked what our baseball walk-up songs would be.

Brian Phillips (Seattle Mariners fan) – “Love Me Like a Reptile” by Motörhead
Brian says: “It’s really pretty simple. The song has one of the all time monster riffs… Any pitcher would quake with fear upon hearing it.”

Laura Lee – “Song 2” by Blur
“It’s a fun upbeat song that I think the crowd would get into and sing the WOOHOO part.” -Laura Lee, a long-suffering Milwaukee Brewers fan.

Tom Butler (lifelong Detroit Tigers fan) – “Jailbreak” by Thin Lizzy
“No real reason aside from that song rules.”

DJ Nate (a long-suffering Reds fan) – “For Whom the Bell Tolls” by Metallica

Adam Latek  – “Radio Nowhere” by Bruce Springsteen
Childhood walk-up song: “Back in Black” by AC/DC
“And I am a life-long (well, since 1994) die-hard Cleveland Guardians fan, the child of two life-long (Dad since 1959, Mom since the mid-to-late ’60s) die-hard Cleveland Guardians fans. (Quick aside, what a fantastic name “Guardians” is! My family seriously LOOOOVES the name!) Our family vacations when I was growing up were always planned around following the Guardians and visiting new ballparks we’d yet to see.”

Just Emma – “Rebel Rock Me” by Pretenders
Just Emma knows so little about baseball that she can’t stop calling these “walk-out songs.”

Rudy G – “Smart Mouth” by CNTS
“Go Cincinnati Reds!”

Mike Cash – “I Walk the Line” by Johnny Cash
Mike says: “Double entendre being WALK the line (a baseball action) and CASH. Besides, it’s a badass opening guitar riff. Go Reds!”

Randy Malloy – “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath
