NY Yankees + Latin Music = Homerun!

I attended a New York Yankee game last Friday and boy is my Met heart burning. Pero, since this is a blog about Latin music and not sports like my boy Alex I’ll say this: the intro music for the Yankee batting line-up sounds like a house party in Spanish Harlem. Yes, we all know Latinos dominate baseball with juice (A-Rod) and no juice (Jose Reyes) but they have also transformed a ball game’s ambience. Check out the songs some of the Yankee sluggers came out to on Friday night against the Minnesota Twins.

Ramiro Pena walked to the batter’s box with some merengue music in the backdrop. Didn’t know the name so he’s what it sounded like:

Robinson Cano got his romantic reggaeton on with Arcangel’s “Por Amar a Ciegas.” He’s hitting .308 so it’s working.

Melky Cabrera, whose first name rhymes with Adrenalina host Belkys’ first name (random fact), gets prepped to Daddy Yankee’s “Que Tengo Que Hacer.” Surprise, surprise Melky had the game-ending winning hit. You see, El Cangri still has some juice left.

Uno,

Jesus
