Like last year, let's keep track of the Braves' intro songs (aka walk up / coming up to bat / at-bat / going to pitch songs)! This was a very fun project and one we definitely should keep up this year. The list will be updated as the year goes on!
As y'all know, I can usually pick up on the urban music but rock escapes me - I can definitely use your help identifying everyone! If you have an addition or correction to the list, please share the title and artist via comment, Twitter, FB, IM, email, whatever works for you. Thanks! :)
This post links to songs that may not be considered family friendly. I didn't choose these songs; the players did. ;) Use your discretion with kids in the room and your speakers on 11.
Catchers
#7 JC Boscan - Danza Kuduro, Don Omar
#8 David Ross - Loud, Mac Miller -also used- He's Mine, Rodney Atkins -also used- Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler), Alabama -also used- Who Am I (What's My Name?), Snoop Doggy Dogg -ALSO USED- a couple other songs I never got. Dang, Rossy.
#16 Brian McCann - Homeboy, Eric Church -also uses- All I Do Is Win, DJ Khaled ft Ludacris, Rick Ross, T-Pain & Snoop Dogg -also used- Drop The World, Lil Wayne ft. Eminem
Infielders & Outfielders

#2 Jack Wilson - Eye of the Tiger, Survivor -also used- Headstrong, Trapt
(I've said for 15+ years that Eye of the Tiger would be my intro song - as far as I know Jack Wilson is the first Brave to use it. This launches him into infinity-heart status. His amazing defense and tendency to wear his socks up helps his cause.)

#5 Freddie Freeman - Somebody I Used to Know (remix), Gotye -also used- Call Me Maybe, Carly Rae Jepsen -also used- Boyfriend, Justin Bieber -also used- Lights, Ellie Goulding -also used- The Show Goes On, Lupe Fiasco

Freddie has a new song this year. If you could find it out that be great, I can’t figure it out.

Yesterday he only used “The Show Goes On”. When they come back into town we’ll check again. Opening weekend songs are often different — the second series after the home opener is usually a good time to start listing their songs. :)

Yeah, I was there all three games of opening weekend and Freddie used the same song all three games. It was almost like a techno/dubstep kind of song. No idea what it is though, any help would be great.

I’m not sure that’s the correct at bat song for Martin. That song is in French and Martin’s song is in Spanish.
Do you happen to know Jose Constanza’s at bat song?
By Lauren T. September 26, 2012 - 7:48 pm
100% positive that’s Marteen’s song – go listen to the video. :) I don’t have Constanza’s song yet, but if you catch it at the Ted I’d love to add it to the list!
