Aside from an awesome win, there were two really good things about going to Sunday’s Rockies game: our seats were sheltered from the constant rain and our seats were near a big speaker, so we could really hear the music. I’ve been obsessed with at-bat or entrance music for a while now, and apparently I’m not alone — people find this site every day because they want to know about the at-bat music of various Rockies players. My list isn’t finished yet, but I might as well share what I have so far. I will do my best to update this list and keep it current.
Garrett Atkins: What I Are by Timbaland (I thought this was a remix of Justin Timberlake’s Bringing Sexy Back for the longest time)
Jamey Carroll: Pink Houses by John Mellencamp
Manny Corpas: Impacto by Daddy Yankee
Josh Fogg: Slow Ride by Foghat
Brian Fuentes: For You by Stain’d
Brad Hawpe: Rockstar by Nickelback
Todd Helton: Back in the Saddle by Aerosmith
Kazuo Matsui: Tricky by Run DMC
Ryan Spilborghs: The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani (everybody at Coors Field sings along with this — WOOOO OOOOH WOOOO OOOOH!)
Troy Tulowitzki: I’m a Flirt by R Kelly
I’m not sure about these:
Matt Holliday: The Great Divide by Scott Stapp, but I can’t remember if he’s still using it
Willy Taveras: used to have Yeah by Usher, but has a new song — reggaeton, Spanish, very fast; the closest thing I’ve found so far is El Mambo de las Shorty’s by Tito El Bambino (but don’t rely on that because I’ve only heard Willy’s new song a few times)
Yorvit Torrealba: He’s used various Daddy Yankee songs, but his current song is NOT Impacto as reported elsewhere on the internet. I’ve listened to snippets of a million Daddy Yankee songs, and haven’t been able to figure out if his current song is by Daddy Yankee. I’ve also started listening to snippets of other reggaeton, and if I listen to much more, Ben is going to throw my computer out the window.
Update: Torrealba’s song is Salio El Sol by Don Omar. Thanks to Karlosest2403!
I accidentally say “reggaetron” every time I mean to say “reggaeton” and now I’m convinced that Reggaetron, a gigantic robot set on world destruction by means of super-powered lasers and a blend of reggae, dancehall, merengue, hip hop, and bachata is going to appear at Coors Field one day soon.

Perhaps the beloved Rockies mascot “Dinger” could have a new mascot pal in “Reggaetron” for the World Series. As far as any computers being tossed out windows, make sure the window in question is up. You wouldn’t want to hurt the window.
October 20, 2007 at 8:49 am
HAHA that would be awesome! Dinger could be Reggaetron’s poke-buddy. Matsui would have to be involved, too.
October 20, 2007 at 12:22 pm
I’ve been trying to figure all these out too, and am so delighted to be directed to a couple more answers!
Last time I checked, Holliday’s song was “You Will Soar” also by Scott Stapp. “If I had just one thing to saaaay…” but that was a couple months ago.
October 21, 2007 at 10:47 am
Awesome — thanks!
I’ll keep updating this as I find more info.
October 21, 2007 at 11:02 am
Helton uses “Back in the Saddle” by Aerosmith. Also, the song they play over and over when the Rockies win is “Kernkraft 400″ by Zombie Nation. You know, the “oooh oh oooh oh” song.
October 21, 2007 at 11:09 am
Thanks! I’ll add Helton to the list. I’m not good at identifying rock stuff.
October 23, 2007 at 8:14 am
Yorvit Torrealba’s song is Salio El Sol by Don Omar
October 23, 2007 at 8:17 am
Willy T’s is a merengue, I need to hear it again. Im from the Dominican Republic also so I should be able to come up with an answer for that one. Im going to make a super sweet Rockies mix. Does anyone know where I can find the remix of the Bruce Channel song that they play during the games.
October 23, 2007 at 11:03 am
Didn’t Tulo change his song when he moved down in the order? I thought he had a Timbaland song now?
October 23, 2007 at 5:13 pm
nice list. We’re trying to get together the appropriate soundtrack for watching the game at home tomorrow. You wouldn’t happen to know the songs for any of these guys, would you?
Jeff Francis
Ubaldo Jimenez
Aaron Cook
Jeff Baker
Seth Smith
October 24, 2007 at 11:41 am
Yes, the mighty robot reggaetron would take over the world if he wasn’t baked all the time. Robot sticky-icky is the shit!
Speaking of entrance music, not that anyone cares about them fighntin’ Bo Sox, but I just love it when Papelbon comes out of the bullpen and they start blasting that Dropkick Murphys song I’m Shipping Up To Boston. Not sure if the links will come through, but here’s a couple examples if so…

Even if you hate the Red Sox, you’ve got to love good ole Pap Smear.
October 29, 2007 at 1:00 pm
Hey Karlosest2403,
The Bruce Channel song Hey Baby remix can be found on itunes in the album called “all-time greatest football songs”
October 29, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Another song they play often late in the games in “Tonight is the Night” by Le Click.
October 30, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Does anybody know the other techno song they play (not Kernkraft 400. The one they play in the 9th inning, in between pitches.
Anyone else at least know which song I’m talking about even if you don’t know the title of it?
October 30, 2007 at 9:03 pm
I know exactly which song you are talking about and I’ve been looking for it also. It has a latin beat so I looked under daddy Yankee but could not find it. I’m curious as well.
November 5, 2007 at 5:48 pm
I have been wondering what the song is they played in the 9th is, too. I love that song - reminds me of how crazy Coors Field got late in the games. Let me know if anyone finds out.
November 21, 2007 at 10:13 pm
The music they play in the ninth inning after every out is Palladio by Silent Nick. Anyone know the intro music they used when they introduced the lineup in the World Series? It was also the same song when they were introduced on opening day.
April 5, 2008 at 11:59 pm
corpas’s is gasolina by daddy yankee
April 6, 2008 at 10:45 pm
Hey, what is Garrett Atkins theme music this season? I went to the game April 4, 2008, don’t know the name of the song, but have it stuck in my head …
April 7, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Mario, Garret Atkins is still using “What I Are” by Timbaland. I love that song.
April 18, 2008 at 12:54 am

May 14, 2008 at 10:52 pm
I was at the game last Wednesday and the song played for Matt Holliday (at least twice) was This Fragile Breath by Todd Agnew.
May 23, 2008 at 9:22 pm

June 10, 2008 at 11:30 am
Iannetta’s song is disturbed-down with the sickness
June 11, 2008 at 12:39 am
I’m thinking the techno song that you’re looking for that’s not Zombie Nation, Palladio, Daddy Yankee, or Allegretto was the song they played after Aaron Cook got his base hit against the Giants 2night. I’m trying to find it as well and haven’t had any luck so if I find it i’ll pass it along. Go to the game by game highlights so you can hear which song I’m talking about.
June 22, 2008 at 10:19 pm
pitbull sings the song for torrealba its not don omar
June 23, 2008 at 12:12 pm
For the current season:
- Yorvit Torrealba’s at-bat song is “The Anthem” by Pitbull and Lil Jon
- Manny Corpas usea what sounds like a variation of Salio El Sol by Don Omar (Torrealba’s song last season), at the very least it has the same backbeat and rhythm.
July 13, 2008 at 3:07 am
Seth Smith - “Jesus Freak” by DC Talk
July 18, 2008 at 4:02 pm
Jeff Baker’s song is Gz and Hustlas by Snoop Dogg

August 9, 2008 at 5:30 pm
Dustin to answer your question the “in love” song is called Stay in Love by Mona Lisa only the song they play at the Rockies games is a much better/faster version which I can’t find. Does anyone know where to find it? If anyone knows that would be awesome
August 14, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Does anyone know the song (usually before the game begins) about “in the city”… or something
August 18, 2008 at 1:11 am
The song about “in the city” is called Streetcorner Symphony by Rob Thomas.
