There are some traditionalists that believe at-bat introduction songs are sophomoric.  I disagree.  As gaps between “players” and “fans” continue to widen, at-bat songs provide humane insight into likes/dislikes.  You know, something for fans to relate to.

Because the intro songs usually only last 5 seconds or so, sometimes it’s tough to put your finger on some obscure tunes.  That’s nothing the iPhone Shazam application can’t resolve (+2 Apple sheep points).

(This is an evolving list.  Check back for changes/updates.)
