Take a walk on the wild side.
A player's walk-up music is often one of the most underrated aspects of the game of baseball. In a sport clouded by how much time is wasted, the walk-up song offers an opportunity for a player to not only entertain fans, but also give them a brief glimpse into their personality.
Every year, NBCLA brings you the walk-up songs for your Los Angeles Dodgers.
Early in the season, it's an afterthought for players, some prefer to keep the same music year-after-year for superstitious reasons—cough, Clayton Kershaw—others, will constantly change their music throughout the season as new music comes out, adjusting to their mood throughout the season.
Dodgers' outfielder is notorious for this as he constantly changed his walk-up music when he was with the Dodgers from 2006 to 2014, and now that he's back with the club in 2018, he plans to change it up throughout the season again.
Who knows, we might even hear Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long," again when he comes to the plate.
Courtesy of the Dodgers in-game mix master, DJ Severe, here are the 2018 Los Angeles Dodgers walk-up songs (UPDATED on Aug. 1):
