Defector’s Resident Nu Metalheads Discuss Mason Miller’s Nu Entrance Music

Barry: The first dedicated reliever entrance song was, of all things, (Won't You Come Home) Bill Bailey, played on the ballpark organ. This is absolutely true. Betty Boop probably loved it, and there was a pun involved, which I must respect—the pitcher’s name was Bill Dailey—but it did not rock. Sparky Lyle, one of the first and best proto-closers, used “Pomp and Circumstance”—the graduation song.
