Shouldn't Wagner use "Ride of the Valkyries"?

His last sentence is pretty outlandish:
"New York will make the current Texas A&M versus Seattle Seahawks fight over the use of the phrase "The 12th Man" look like a backyard game of tag."
I doubt there will be any ceast and desist letters being sent out and hints at court action.

I think what this really proves is that "Enter Sandman" is just a super badass song for a closer to come out to...

Still, the most badass closer theme song is Keith Foulke's pick of Danzig's "Mother". Which, coincidentally, is one half of what every Red Sox fan said every time Foulke came out to close for us last year.

Hells Bells still the best

"Shouldn't Wagner use "Ride of the Valkyries"?"

Uh, no.

Combining the noted anti-semetic Wagner with New York's large Jewish population wouldn't be a good idea in my book.

The real question is: Why did Mr. Mirlis think that ANYONE OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK WOULD ACTUALLY CARE?

When Wagner closes out a World Series or three, maybe this is an interesting discussion. Until then, zzzzzzzzz

For the record, Mariano didn't choose that song,
someone else did. He just never said anything about it.

Wooden (Great name, by the way): I have a better question. Why would another INSIDE of New York City care about this?

I don't. Big deal. So Wagner uses the same song that Mo uses. Whooop-dee-freakin'-doo.

me personally......I would love coming up to bat or coming in from the bullpen with (just the music no lyrics) "Children of the Grave" blasting over the PA system.
