Enter Sandman

One of the most fearsome sights in baseball. Mariano Rivera coming out of the bullpen and racing onto the field to the music of Metallica's "Enter Sandman." It's lights out for the opposing team (mostly though). I would get goosebumps when I'd actually see this sight. There's a marked difference from television as opposed to seeing it live especially when the bass drum begins to beat. Then when the bass begins to hum and the guitars barge in like a Kukri winging its way towards you then all hell breaks loose. If they didn't play this heavy metal classic, I'd recommend Echo and the Bunnymen's "The Cutter."
