When Starlin Castro returned to Wrigley Field for the first time since he was traded to the Yankees, the Cubs gameday production crew played the walkup song [VIDEO] that they had used for him during his time as a Cub.
That was a nice touch; I’m sure he appreciated it and fans welcomed Starlin back warmly.
All the Cubs have walkup (or entry, in the case of pitchers) songs, with some having more than one.
Here’s a complete list of the songs chosen. Some of these you will recognize from past years, and some players have new songs for 2017. A couple of other notes: this list is subject to change, and only family-friendly (clean) portions of songs are used. If a player isn’t listed here, his songs weren’t on the list I received from the Cubs. (And two players listed are currently with Triple-A Iowa.)
