Cubs move to 20th century, add at-bat music
In a wave of modernity that includes a new Toyota sign, a macaroni sculpture ad outside the park and a new, spacious players' lounge, the Chicago Cubs have also added recorded music to their in-game experience. Each Cub now gets at-bat music, in addition to the work of fine organist Gary Pressey. Cubs have wanted this minor perk for years, and the Ricketts family have finally provided the money/approval. Most Cubs still hadn't picked their own tunes. So fine Chicago Tribune beat writer Paul Sullivan provided his own list of at-bat/introduction choices for the Cubs here: http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/06/cubs-end-organ-played-at-bat-music-at-wrigley-field.html I have responded with a group of selections culled from my iPhone.
