MLB Closer entrance music
Puddy Tathiss
The baseball discussion on the other thread got me thinking.
If you were a top MLB closer, what song would you come out to the mound to?
A good one has to jazz up the crowd and intimidate the opposition.
Would you want more the party vibe? Fierce rock? Thumping rap? Dark and morbid?

I think The William Tell Overture would be a great entrance

^ Nothing wrong with classical. Sparky Lyle was the first with entrance music and he used Pomp and Circumstance.
I'd choose Berlioz' Dies Irae from his Symphony Fantastique, or the Trans Siberian Orchestra's version of Beethoven's Fifth opening movement (called Requiem)... it's fucking badass live.

Berlioz' Dies Irae. You might recognize this from the opening of The Shining.

Beethoven's Fifth by TSO (the lightning would be even more badass!)

Hard to beat Trevor Hoffman’s Hell’s Bells. He OWNED that song, and the crowd would erupt when they heard the opening bell of the song!

As a Yankees fan, the only possible answer is Enter Sandman as the GOAT jogs in from the bullpen.

To be fair Billy Wagner had it first. To me another guy that should be in the HOF.
Personally I would come to ZZ Top is there anything more badass. If I played for a Texas team, it should be required by law.

@777 - I think Koji Uehara used "Sandstorm" when he was closer for the Red Sox
Another one, "Night Crawler" by Judas Priest
That thunder and choir in the background slaps, and it's a song about something that kills people.

Pantera - "Mouth For War" I used to love listening to that before my hockey games. I'd be ready to put people through the boards, not just into them.

Enter the sandman is the absolute best. No coincidence Mariano used it.

Korn's Blind. Start it at the 0:45, so I would be jogging in from the bullpen with the "Are you ready?" lyrics.
