[JohnGelnarFan]

Jason Grimsley and Barry Bonds "Tied to The Whipping Post" - The Allman Brothers

[geezer]

[mojorisin71]

[geezer]

George Steinbrenner - Diary of a Madman, Ozzy Osbourne

Dusty Baker - Crazy Train, Ozzy Osbourne

[soberdennis]

George Steinbrenner - Diary of a Madman, Ozzy Osbourne

Dusty Baker - Crazy Train, Ozzy Osbourne
"Madman" may be too complimentary for Steinbrenner. I can honestly say that I don't know of too many Yankee fans that like him, even though his money has helped restore some of the glory of yesteryear.

[jlpennington]

A more appropriate Palmeiro song would be "That's My Story and I'm Stickin' to It" by Jimmy Buffet.

Let's see what I can come up with:


Roger Clemens - All I Want Is More by Reel Big Fish (couldn't resist...haha)
Michael Barrett - Come Out Fighting by Pennywise (again, couldn't resist)
Adam Dunn - Sounds Good, But I Don't Know by Catch 22
Miguel Cabrera - Our Only Weapon by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Chicago Cubs - Failing, Flailing by Streetlight Manifesto (even though they beat the Reds tonight while I was in attendance)
Joe Mauer - Coming Out Of The Woodwork by Suburban Rhythm

[geezer]

The Mets - Flying High Again, Ozzy Osbourne

[GiambiJuice]

Gome on guys! Put your creative hats on. Lets see you come up with some good songs.

[SoxSon]

This is Between Innings material, GiambiJuice.
I'm moving it on over.

[CanadianKid]

Barry Bonds:

99 Problems-Jay-Z
Walk This Way- Aerosmith

Pete Rose:
Why-Jadakiss

Johan Santana:
Doin' My Job- T.I.
Made You Look-Nas

Tori Hunter/Andruw Jones:
Down And Out-Cam'ron

Bo Jackson:
Hardknock Life-Jay-Z

Milton Bradley:
Insane In The Brain-Cypress Hill

New York Yankees:
More Money More Problems- Notorious B.I.G
or Money Ain't A Thing-Jay-Z

For any pitcher: Kick Push-Lupe Fiasco

Willie Randoplh:
Straight Outta Compton-NWA

KC Royals:
Everyday Struggle- Notorious B.I.G

Dodgers/Angels/Giants/A's/Padres:
California Love-Tupac

For a player who's been with numerous teams "Changes" by Tupac would fit well.

Didn't know which player to use for this one but I figured it would be best for "errors"- Killing Me Softly- Fugees

[Murderer's Row]

The Imperial March for the Boss of course.:D

Now that I think about it, for the Yankees too.

[Padday]

Babe Ruth-"Jumbo Breakfast Roll"(Pat Shortt)
A-Rod -"The Langer Song"(Tim O'Riordan & Natural Gas)

These are both Irish pop songs that have been quite successful. The first ones about a breakfast roll and describes the ingredients and such the second is about the Cork slang term langer which kind of means some one who acts stupid. I feel they are appropriate.
