Albert Pujols Angels Walkup Music (in a perfect world)

Basically, most athletes have terrible taste in music as revealed in their lousy walkup music, just like most team chairmen have terrible taste in Buttercups. Let's face it, your job is to throw, hit, catch and toss the ball mister major leaguer. You're good at it, great even. But your taste in music sucks, bro. Put it this way - you can kick my ass, but my iPod would melt yours if they were to meet on the astral-audio plane. And I am not even a music snob. The Angels would do well to have a sophisticated musicologist curate songs to match the strengths of the team's players at their moment of stepping up. This is the first in a series.
Cheech Knows Baseball Part Two

My conversation with actor Cheech Marin continues here, he discusses the heroics of the Dodger Game that he threw out the first pitch and recollects the Washington Nationals giving him the A-List star treatment when his publicist let them know he was in town and was a big baseball fan.
Cheech and I discuss the cross-town rivalry between the Dodgers and Angels in light of fifteen years of interleague play and he reveals which Angels player was his hero when he was an infielder playing in American Legion Ball and High School.
And no discussion of baseball is complete without the story of when it broke your heart. Hear Cheech's tale.
