August 26, 200817 yr Noticed it when I was at the game on Sunday. Awesome..... The only song that comes close was the Greatest American Hero when Anderson came up to bat his rookie season. http://www.imeem.com/people/hC7Qw//music/1q8YcCut/soul_glo/
August 26, 200817 yr I can't believe this is true. If it is I may have to re-evaluate how awesome Griff is.
August 26, 200817 yr He's been using that for awhile I believe.... I know he had it in Cincinnati when wiki listed the various players theme songs. Nevertheless, pretty much the best batter introduction ever. Swish's Ridin' Dirty as a close second. Just let your soooouuuuul glow baby feeling oh so silky smooth Just let it shine through yeah Just let your soooouuuul glow oooo
August 26, 200817 yr It's my wife's fav movie. We were at the game, he comes up and she almost spit her drink on the people in front of us. It's now her ringtone. Edited August 26, 200817 yr by That funky motion
August 26, 200817 yr haha wow..........although I shouldn't make too much fun of that because my song would be "If You Wanna Be Happy" by Jimmy Soul.
August 27, 200817 yr Whatever it is, it seems to be working. The guy seems to be coming around at the plate.
August 27, 200817 yr Yes, this is an awesome battle song for Griff...made me laugh my ass off when I first heard it.
August 27, 200817 yr All new respect for the Kid, knowing this is true. One of the great all time comedies. Plus every time Clayton Richards pitches, I say "His mama called him Clay, I call him Clay" about 50 times.
August 27, 200817 yr hahahahaha i could see it now... a key situation in the game Griffey comes to the plate with Soul Glo blaring in the background....
August 27, 200817 yr Fun fact: Griffey was playing in the majors when Coming To America was in theaters .
August 27, 200817 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) Fun fact: Griffey was playing in the majors when Coming To America was in theaters . I don't think so technically. Coming to America is celebrating it's 20th anniversary, as it was in theaters in 1988. Griffey didn't come to the bigs until 1989. The fact it's that close is a bit telling as to how old he is though, and how young he was when he came up.

But he was in Seattle's system.
August 28, 200817 yr Knight might be "technically" right as it is possible it was in some $2 theater or second run theater only 1 year later. As for Eddie singing, you never heard about his girl wanting to party all the time? Edited August 28, 200817 yr by knightni
