(KRON) — The San Francisco Giants held their home opener for the 2023 season on Friday. It also means this is the first time fans can hear each player’s walkup song as they either go up to the plate and hit or to the mound and pitch.
Take a look at the list (below) released by the Giants on Friday. The list has multiple songs by Snoop Dogg, Drake and Bad Bunny, respectively. (Warning: Some songs may have explicit lyrics).

One that hasn’t changed is Wilmer Flores’ walkup song, which is the theme song from the hit series “Friends.” The infielder, when first coming to the United States from Venezuela, had learned some of his English by watching the popular series that debuted in 1994.
Flores has had that as his walkup song since 2016.
Perhaps Hjelle’s choice might make you laugh. The 6-foot-11 pitcher chose “Bootylicious” by Destiny’s Child as his song.
Here’s a link to the playlist with each song selected by 24 different Giants players.
