Okay, so you know how everyone’s got their thing, right? Well, I’ve been diving deep into the world of baseball lately, and there’s this player, Bryson Stott, who’s been catching my eye. Not just for his skills on the field, but also for his choice of walk-up music.
I started noticing it during the games. This catchy tune would blast from the speakers every time Stott stepped up to the plate. It’s called “AOK” by Tai Verdes. At first, I was like, “Huh, that’s a fun song.” I looked it up, listened to it a few times, and it’s definitely a feel-good track. No wonder he picked it. It’s upbeat, it’s positive, it gets you moving.
So, I got curious. Why this song? Is there a story behind it? I did some digging, and it turns out, there isn’t some deep, meaningful reason. Stott just liked the song! He’s been using it since his MLB debut in 2022, and apparently, he’s been vibing with it since 2020. It’s simple, but I kinda love that. It’s just a song he enjoys, and it gets him in the zone.
But here’s where it gets really cool. I watched a few games, and the energy in the stadium when “AOK” starts playing is wild. The whole crowd at Citizens Bank Park starts singing along. It’s like this massive, shared moment of joy. I even found some videos online of fans belting out the lyrics. It’s become this whole thing, this anthem for Stott and the Phillies fans. The first time I saw this, I thought they were just singing, but then I saw more and more games where the crowd was chanting the song.
I read somewhere that his walk-up song changes sometimes. There was talk about him using “The Champion” by Carrie Underwood, which is a totally different vibe. It’s more of a power anthem, you know? But “AOK” seems to be the one that stuck, and it seems to be the one the fans love the most. They sing it every time.
I also saw some comments online saying that the song is a reflection of Stott’s personality. I don’t know the guy personally, but from what I’ve seen, he seems pretty chill and positive. So, maybe the song does match his vibe after all.
Anyway, I just thought it was a cool little story to share. It’s amazing how a simple song choice can create such a fun and unifying experience for everyone. It’s made me appreciate the little things in sports even more, and it’s definitely made me a bigger fan of Bryson Stott. And hey, now I’ve got a new song to add to my playlist!
