You’ll probably be outraged at who is NOT No. 1.
Last night, 43-year-old Yankees legend Mariano Rivera made his final All-Star Game appearance. He entered in the 8th inning from the bullpen to a standing ovation with a familiar tune blaring from the Citi Field speakers — "Enter Sandman."
The Metallica anthem has been synonymous with the greatest closer of all time for well over a decade. Rivera's jog from the outfield is undoubtedly one of the coolest traditions in baseball, but is it the best use of "Enter Sandman" in sports?
(Dis)Honorable Mention: Rand Paul
Okay, I know this has nothing to do with sports, but politicians should NEVER have entrance music. PERIOD. If you get chills watching any politician walk up to a podium with "Enter Sandman" blaring, it probably means you had a bad egg salad sandwich for lunch.
