It's pretty cool that ballplayers get to take the plate to their own personal theme song. But if we've learned one thing, it's that professional baseball players have the worst taste in the entire world (see Ryan Braun's t-shirt line. It makes Ed Hardy look like J. Crew). So we've gone through the Yanks and Phils respective lineups and put together an alternate World Series soundtrack.

Derek Jeter
Actual song: "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z
Should be: "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z
The Captain gets what the Captain wants. And this Big Apple anthem is as good a choice as any.

Johnny Damon
Actual song: "I Walk Alone" by Saliva
Should be: "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry
Mr. Steinbrenner, you know that new sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this.

Mark Teixeira
Actual song: “I Wanna Rock” by Twisted Sister
Should be: "Baba O'Riley" by the Who
Bask in olden times, when Paul O'Neill batted third for the Bombers, there was no more thrilling sound than the first notes of this classic blasting through the stadium as Paulie came to bat with the game on the line. Time to bring it back.

Alex Rodriguez
Actual song: "PSA" by Jay-Z
Should be: "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John
Remember when Kate Hudson leads the whole tour bus in the sing-along in Almost Famous? That was awesome.

Jorge Posada
Actual song: "Me Estas Tenando" by Wisin y Yandel
Should be: "Rappers Delight" by The Sugar Hill Gang
Straight out of the Boogie Down Bronx: "I said a hip hop a hippie to the hippie to the hip hip Jorge!"

Hideki Matsui
Actual song: "Big Shot" by Billy Joel
Should be: "Surrender" by Cheap Trick
Because this song is awesome and Cheap Trick is huge in Japan. Although "Big Shot" by Billy Joel is pretty fucking great too.

Robinson Cano
Actual song: "Run This Town" by Jay Z
Should be: "Bring the Noise" by Public Enemy
New York hip-hop is fine, but since Jeter gets dibs on Jigga, Cano will have to settle for this PE classic, guaranteed to blow the roof off (the, er, roofless) Yankee Stadium.

Nick Swisher
Actual song: "Rock Star" by Ludacris and R Kelly
Should be: "The Swish" by the Hold Steady
Baseball-loving Midwesterner heads to New York and hits the big time. Also, the song is called "The Swish."

Melky Cabrera
Actual song: "I Know You Want Me" by Pitbull
Should be: "Blitzkrieg Bop" by the Ramones
No New York lineup would be complete without at least one Ramones song.

Jimmy Rollins
Actual song: "I'm Good" by The Clipse
Should be: "Addams Family Values" by MC Hammer
Did you know that as a teenager, Rollins appeared in several MC Hammer videos including this spooktacular hit? Of course you did.

Shane Victorino
Actual song: "Buffalo Soldier" by Bob Marley
Should be: "Paper Planes" By M.I.A.
Is there any other option for the man nicknamed "Pineapple Express"?

Chase Utley
Actual song: "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin
Should be: "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin
We'll give Utley the Jeter treatment. "Kashmir"'s killer riff is the perfect introduction to Chase's gritty play. Just ask CC Sabathia.

Ryan Howard
Actual song: "Forever" by Drake
Should be: "Big Poppa" by Notorious B.I.G.
It may be sacrilege for a non-New Yorker to claim this classic but dude is 260 lbs. and the only other option is "The Fat Boys are Back."

Jayson Werth
Actual song: "Arma-goddamn-motherf-------geddon" by Marilyn Manson
Should be: "Armageddon It" by Def Leppard
Okay, we get the sentiment, but Manson's track blows. If you want to take your swing too some apocalyptic bullshit, we recommend Def Leppard's bombastic arena rocker.

Raul Ibanez
Actual song: "Save You" by Pearl Jam
Should be: "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix
Considering he played most of his career in sunny Seattle, it's not surprising Ibanez went with the grunge kings. But if were up to us (and right here, it is) he'd take his cuts to another Seattle rocker. One who ultimately choked on his own vomit.

Ben Francisco
Actual song: "Amazing" by Kanye West
Should be: "Ben" by Michael Jackson
This one is a no brainer.

Pedro Feliz
Actual song: "Calle Ocho" by Pitbull
Should be: "You Make My Dreams" by Hall & Oates
Is there a song more likely to put a smile on the faces of Phillies' fans than this cheesetastic number from the city's favorite sons.

Carlos Ruiz
Actual song: "Turn My Swag On" by Soulja Boy
Should be: "Gangster Boogie" by Schooly D
The Yanks may have Jigga, Sugar Hill Gang and PE, but Philly answers with this classic from hip-hop's first gangsta rapper. Plus, it has the word boogie in it.
