Be it rock, rap, country, hip-hop, pop, music is the soundtrack to sports every bit as much as boos, cheers, the crack of the bat, or the toot of the ref's whistle. It's standard on game broadcasts. It blares from stadium speakers. A batter or closer who appears unaccompanied (Metallica's Enter Sandman, anyone?) by music is an odd duck indeed.
