In this historically bad season, the music still bops.
True story.
Last Sunday before the New York Mets game, I was talking with the Colorado Rockies director of communications about compiling the team’s walk-up music. He said that he had the songs on a spreadsheet, and he’d be happy to share.
Not long after this conversation ended, Chase Dollander walked over to him and asked, “Who do I need to talk to about changing my warm-up song?”
He asked Dollander to send him a screenshot of the artist including the point at which the music should start and that he’d handle the rest.
It was a timely coincidence, answering a question I had not asked about how players go about making those adjustments.
But at any rate, given how the Rockies’ season is going, I thought it might be nice today to do something a little more upbeat.
And so, without further ado, here they are, arranged alphabetically by position players and then pitchers. I’ve left in players toggling between Triple-A Albuquerque (in part because I adore “Brass Monkey” and wanted to include it).
And to the Rockies director of communications, thanks so much!

Whose walk-up song is your favorite — or do you have suggested songs you think players should use?
