BRIDGEPORT — At U.S. Cellular Field, birthplace of player walk-up songs — thanks to retired organist Nancy Faust, of course — the 2015 White Sox playlist is thick with rock ‘n’ roll.
The Sox pitching staff especially favors classic rock tunes.
Pitcher David Robinson strolls to the field to the tune of AC/DC’s “Back in Black." Jeff Samardzija and Zach Putnam take the mound to Led Zeppelin's “Kashmir” and “Rock and Roll,” respectively.
And Sox ace Chris Sale takes the field to an AWOLNATION song that sounds like his name, “Sail,” is being sung.
Catcher Tyler Flowers prefers Three Dog Night’s sing-songy “Shambala” and Color Me Badd’s “All For Love.” Why? I have no idea. Maybe he lost a bet.
Center fielder Adam Eaton’s pick is “This is How We Do it” by Montell Jordan. Slugger Adam LaRoche (and his beard) is a fan of country singer Luke Bryant’s album “Crash My Party.”
Before every Jose Abreu homer you’ll hear either “Yo Quiero” by Gente De Zona or “Nada Es Regalado” by El Micha.
And Avisail Garcia steps to the plate to “Gucci Boys Club” by Arcangel, which kinda sounds like a Keef song with a Latin twist.
