Reese Kaplan -- Walk Up Music Revisited

Last week it was revealed that Jeurys Familia is getting special walk-up composed in conjunction with Dominican recording artist Zacarías Ferreíra that he will record himself.  No “Enter Sandman” controversy this time around back in the days of Billy Wagner and Mariano Rivera.  Of course, the last Mets player to dabble in the music studio was Jordany Valdespin, so let’s hope things don’t follow the same career path for big Jeurys.

Ruben Tejada certainly lived to tell after the Chase Utley incident:

Then, of course, there was his infield partner Wilmer Flores, famously almost traded to the Milwaukee Brewers who might want to try this one:

And what can we say about the poor choices made by former closer Jenrry Mejia.  Caught not once, not twice but three times.  Apparently all he could think was:
