Day 3: A song that would be your walk-up music when you're going up to bat

I love this prompt. Thank you MLAS (and if this was a suggestion, thanks also to whoever suggested it -- awesome!)
To those that know me well, it will not come as a surprise that I have a Top 5 but rules prevent me from listing the other 4. I thought about going with the latest addition to the 5 but instead I'm going with the one I'm shocked I've never heard used be cause I think it's perfect despite not being from a band or style I typically enjoy.

 
Day 3: A song that would be your walk-up music when you're going up to bat

I did not play baseball -- the games I played tended towards a bit more applied violence, take of that what you will. But my kid started in T-Ball at four, and it was her mother's game of choice, so we started going to the local Single A team as soon as they opened (even though it was a 45-minute drive each way). And I gained an appreciation for walk-up music, and for the guy who chose it. When a Hops player went up, it was their chosen song. When it was an opposing player, it was usually a pun or play on their name somehow, and it became one-sided game between him and I to make the connection -- he like to get obscure.

But as I said, I didn't play -- but I did have a walk-up song. I was in an improv and sketch comedy troupe for a number of years, and the sound guy would pick a song he played whenever we came out on stage, usually for monologues or bits. And this was mine -- that of that what you will as well.

"She Blinded Me With Science," Thomas Dolby.

I am using my extra song pass that I earned partly though this prompt. I mentioned that my daughter started T-Ball at four. She played baseball through Little League as long as she could (she didn't want to move over to softball until she had to), then lettered in softball (both fast- and slow-pitch) all four years in high school. And as much as I loved that, I was never so happy as when she first walked out to this as her walk-up song.

"Crazy Train," Ozzy Osbourne

It was from @Whiskeyjack ‘s list
I believe Unquiet also suggested a walk up song!



All the prompts this month will be from the suggestions everyone gave last month! Thank you all for those 🙌
