LIST OF BASEBALL ENTRANCE MUSIC

In baseball, some players choose to have their appearance in a game be punctuated by a musical selection. The most common forms are for a relief pitcher charging out of the bullpen or for a hitter approaching the batter's box for an at bat.
Player music selection generally relates to a player's ethnic heritage, birthplace, name, or a characteristic of them as a player. Sometimes, it is just a song the player or the audio staff enjoys.
All teams listed are current or for retired players the team with which they are best known.
