St. Louis Cardinals Music Picks

Today's MLB Player Music Special takes us to Busch Stadium, home of last year's National League champion, the St. Louis Cardinals. The team was in fine form last year in the postseason, rolling over the Pirates and Dodgers en route to their second trip to the World Series in 3 years, only to fall at the hands of the Boston Red Sox in 6 games. The team is largely unchanged from last year, despite the loss of Carlos Beltran, the team has retained their chemistry and their nonstop revolving door of talent that just never seems to stop impressing the fans and the Cardinals organization alike. Here is a look at their musical choices:

Adam Wainwright: Alabama - Song of The South

The ace of the staff Wainwright has this song representative of his Southern roots with this country tinged track. The Georgia native has been a mainstay in the starting rotation for the Cards for a few years now, and possessing a dazzling display of fastballs and cutters that are designed to explode on impact on hitters, while having the ability to stay in the game for 7-8 innings each outing. A fierce competitor on the mound but a humble and laid-back guy off the mound.

Daniel Descalso: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California

The infielder has this tune from the Chili Peppers, who are also from the Golden State where he has his roots implanted as well. With a finely tuned bat and a gifted glove, Descalso can be depended on each time his name comes up in the lineup and possess a high aptitude for getting to a pitcher and hitting those balls on contact when they come over in the middle of the plate.

Jason Motte: Green Day - Brain Stew

This bearded reliever who also spent time as a closer is in fine form with this classic Green Day tune. Motte, who missed most of last year due to Tommy John surgery and was unable to participate in the postseason, is fully healed and ready to contribute to his team any way he can with his strong pitching arm ready to elevate his team to victories night after night.

 Jon Jay: Pitbull - Born and Raised

The Miami bred Jay has the Latin flavored sounds of Pitbull as his walk up track. Jay possess a strong bat and fiery glove, as evidenced during last year's postseason and is a tremendous athlete with his keen eyes and persistent offense on display each time he goes up to the plate, and this song helps feel loose and limber while doing just that.

Lance Lynn: Hank Williams Jr. - Country Boy Can Survive

This strong starter has the sounds of none other than Hank Williams Jr. to walk out to on the mound. Lynn has been pitching for the Cardinals since 2011, and has anchored a strong pitching staff that is one of the model staffs in all of baseball with their ability to get strong starts out of each of their pitchers, while also remaining relatively healthy along the way, something which is very difficult to do.

 Matt Holliday: Jim Johnston - WWE: Crank It Up (Big Show)

The left fielder Holliday has some wrestling music courtesy of Big Show as his entrance music. Currently signed with the club on a 7-year, $120 million deal, Holliday is a highly skilled outfielder, reeling in balls that venture out too far near the warning track that he can deal with at ease. At the plate, he is a highly skilled offensive player with strong vision that allows him to see the pitch he wants and quickly obliterate it.

Peter Bourjos: Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg - Still D.R.E.

The former Angel has this Dre and Snoop hit from years ago as his entrance song. The center fielder is currently getting acclimated with his new club, and has greatly improved his accuracy and range to fit the depths of Busch Stadium so that he knows when to stop and size up the ball properly so that the out can be recorded.

 Shelby Miller: Macklemore - Can't Hold Us

This young gun has this Macklemore track as his song in his journey to the mound. At just 23 years of age, Shelby has made an indelible impression on the minds of Cardinals fans with his beautiful arm and plentiful pitch selection a mind boggling gem, and has consistently garnered high praise for his strong work ethic and humble charm making an impression on everyone in St. Louis.

Yadier Molina: Wisin Y Yandel - Sigan Ballando

The backstop has this Latin track as his walk up tune of choice. Coming from a family of catchers, Yadier has tremendous pitch calling capabilities and knows when to stay on the same page with catchers and communicate effectively so that they know what the plan of attack is each and every time. With a strong offensive state of mind at the plate, Yadier is the one you can always depend on each time he comes up to bat.

I totally respect the Cardinal organization for their ability to constantly churn out talent at an impeccable rate. Much like the Red Sox farm system, they have an ability to know when certain players are ready to move on the big leagues and hold onto them for a length of time, and usually stay a Cardinal for life much like the players that came in before them.
