I still think Beltran's song might be called Y Es Aqui, for anyone who knows Spanish and wants to dig around a little.

Could this be it?

]Isla Del Encanto by Algarete Desde que llego al puerto Ya yo me siento bien rico Y es la Isla del Encanto Tu amado Puerto Rico Y es aqui Donde por primera vez la luz yo vi En el lugar en donde naci Y en donde solo canta mi Coqui Y es aqui En la que llaman la Isla del Encanto En la que dia a dia yo me levanto En la que desde la costa hasta el campo Se mezclo un indio, un negro y un blanco Y es Borinquen A la que llaman ahora Puerto Rico En la que en todos somos un Jibaritos En donde que franjas blancas y rojas se enlasan en ella En donde dentro de un triangulo azul nace solo UNA estrella -Chorus- Es la Isla del Encanto, whoa oh Tu amado Puerto Rico, whoa oh (x2) Que se levante el boricua orgulloso de su bandera Que para que sea 51 se quede sola y sea la primera Solita yo la quiero ver Yo soy un Boricua y con ellos luchare Por siacaso de haya afuera quieren venir a joder O si mi tierrita quisieran vender Me molesta el pensar que quieren vender lo que no es suyo Y todo puertorrique�o que m griten del orgullo -Chorus- -Instrument Break- Y es aqu� Donde nos quieren quitarnos nuestros sue�os De donde quieren venir hacerse due�os Y si yo hubiese nacido en la luna Tambien seria un puertorrique�o Y es aqu� En donde gritaron como hicieron en Lares Donde el Boricua demuestra lo que vale Donde un mar y conquita como Colon en los mares Donde en lo que llaman las Ligas Mayor el mas valioso es Gonzalez -Chorus- (x2) Porque te quiero Puerto Rico

It looks like it's about Puerto Rico, so that might make sense.

So "Over My Head (Cable Car)" was on this morning, and I quip that Chad Bradford is warming up. D-Dad, who doesn't pay much attention to this stuff, asked if that was his entrance music, and I said it was. To which D-Dad replied, "But Bradford doesn't throw over his head. He throws underhand." He went on to posit that maybe Bradford is being ironic by his choice of music.

I still think it's a bad choice for a reliever. Great song, but not the message that you want to send.

Updated - Playoff Edition:

- Michael Tucker's song identified
- New song for Shawn Green
- Still searching for Beltran's. Maybe I'll just write him a letter asking.

Updated!

Carlos Beltran's song is El Esta Aqui, by David y Abraham.

It is (as speculated) CCM music. CCM Salsa music.

You did write and ask Beltran!

[Elster88]

We can do better than "several" for David Wright.

[Guest Edgy DC]

C
Ramon Castro --- "Imperial March," John Williams and the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

True.

He uses three songs.

Brass Monkey is used for the second at-bat. I don't know what the first and third songs are, though. They start percussion-heavy but unfortunately have no lyrics in the first 10-20 seconds, so they're tougher to identify. They sound familar, but I couldn't place them.

And no, I didn't have to actually write Carlos -- some other enterprising person out there in cyberland found it, thankfully.

Thanks for the Castro clarification, will be duly noted.

Shawn Green was using a third song in the playoffs, possibly another Audioslave song, although I'm not sure.
