They earned the opportunity to play on the biggest stage of baseball,and do it for a living. They didn't earn the music. The music the is for entertainment purposes only.Those pros have earned it.

Also, for the record I have no issue with teams doing it in between innings, etc as long as it done by the time play starts and it isn't at an excessive volume such that it interferes with play on nearby fields. I don't see the big deal..the chants are more annoying to me as a fan then the music imo but again a player should be concentrating to the point where all it is background noise, both the chants and the music.
The crowd was there long before walkup music was a thought. They earned every bit of it.They earned the opportunity to play on the biggest stage of baseball,and do it for a living. They didn't earn the music. The music the is for entertainment purposes only.
In travel ball: Never. Not in warmups. Not between innings. No walk up music. If another team can hear it, you shouldn’t be doing it.
The games next to you doesn’t want to hear it. The team playing you doesn’t want to hear it.
I don’t want to hear your music any more than you want to hear my music at a stoplight.
The world does not revolve around you or your little team of wonderfuls.
This isn’t a college game.
This isn’t a pro game.
There are other people playing and warming up.
Other people exist in the world besides you.
Yes, this post is kind of rude. The idea that some parents and coaches have no idea how OBNOXIOUS this is necessitates it.
NEVER!!
I'm sure I've been annoyed at travel tournaments in the younger ages before, but nothing that really stands out that I remember. BUT.........for our HS team, they had speakers mounted on poles right above the entrances of both dugouts, in between innings when you really needed to gather the troops and give instructions or talk to an individual player, us coaches couldn't without screaming or completely moving 50 feet away!!
I HATED those speakers!!! This past year Anna made me promise I wouldn't beat our dugout speaker off of that pole with a bat! I have the keys to the field and lights, I threatened several times to sneak in there late at night and just make those speakers go away!
So my vote.........NEVER!
