Last night, the Chicago Cubs opened their 2017 season at Wrigley Field in dramatic fashion. After blowing a two-run lead late in the game, the Cubs rebounded and eventually went on to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 thanks to an Anthony Rizzo walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth.
What a great way to start 2017.
Besides watching the team raise their third championship banner last night, part of my excitement was getting a chance to hear the players walk-up music for the first time in 2017.
Last year, I wrote a similar article and was able to get every single player’s walk-up music besides Addison Russell’s due to me possibly being a bit intoxicated. I’m happy to report that this year I was able to get each player’s music of choice while simultaneously getting hammered.
Impressive, I know.
Here’s the list with a link to each song.
Kyle Schwarber
Thuggish Ruggish Bone – Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
Kris Bryant
Anthony Rizzo
(I’m sorry but this song is just awesome)
Ben Zobrist
Benny and the Jets – Julianna Zobrist
Addison Russell
Can’t Tell Me Nothing – Kanye West
Willson Contreras
Jason Heyward
This Girl – Kungs & Cookin’ On 3 Burners (a little foggy on this one but here was his back-up just in case)
Javier Baez
Jon Lester
Barefoot Blue Jean Night – Jake Owen
*Note: A majority of the players switched up their songs before each at-bat but my phone battery decided it didn’t want to cooperate with me last night.
I swear I wasn’t too drunk.
