The great thing about Trevor Hoffman’s Hells Bells is that they spared no decibel when they played it. You can hear that distinctive bell from miles away.
No the best thing about it was he actually loves Metal… friend of mine sent him a mix tape his first year with the Marlins, packed full of metal to warm up to.. met him on the field one day and told him he was the one who sent it, Trevor thanked him and told him he loved the tape… Love seeing him at the top of this list
Trevor Hoffman's Hells Bells was always fitting for the Padres team. When you think of Padres, you think of the California Missions and when you think of those, you think of church bells. I'm glad you added Eric Gagne on this list. I remember experiencing that at Dodger Stadium several times when I was younger. Can honestly say I have yet to see any player make that kind of entrance at that ballpark
Love that the “Omar whistle” has become a Baltimore sports staple. Used to seeing it for the Ravens intro but when they did it for Bautista we went nuts!!
I get hyped by Narco, I got excited for Enter Sandman... But when you hear that first bell of Hell's Bells, especially in Hoffman's days, I would consistently just get *CHILLS*
goddamn, as a lifelong red sox fan I remember being terrorized by Enter Sandman as a kid. The few times the sox ever scored on Rivera it felt like a freaking miracle. To a young fan, Rivera was basically a horseman of the apocalypse. Absolute legend.
Yeah, but you guys have a pretty awesome band as your house band. I’m just saw Dropkick last weekend…in Southern California…and they were talking about your darn Sox. I hate the Sox more than the Yankees…buts that’s only because my Angels can beat the Yankees.
There will never, EVER be a closer entrance better than Mariano Rivera. Enter Sandman was the perfect song for him since every player in baseball had nightmares about facing him.
There's nothing about Rivera's song that makes it better than other closer in general. The only reason its on the top 10 list is because of Rivera himself who was such a dominating closer. If I had to rank them, I would say Diaz's is the best no doubt. There's something about that natural trumpet playing that rakes in energy and intimidation. It's very cool.
These are all great but something about this specific helsley entrance gives me chills. I’d rank it (from clips alone) way higher than 10. Imagine the opposing batters sitting there while they black out the stadium and the crowd goes insane. Absolute chills
Trying to explain just how awesome hearing those bells and watching Hoffy coming in was to someone never does it justice. You just had to be there! I was also at Petco when they honored Trevor for his HoF selection. Stadium went dark, Hells Bells came on, and then just Trevor lit up on the pitchers mound. Will remember that the rest of my life!
As a Twins fan, Duran should have been on this list. Yes, he isn’t even compatible to the Enter Sandman one or Hells Bells, but his is pretty incredible
I never cease to marvel at the cult of the closer. They pitch one inning, almost never with anyone on base, and make more than the rest of the relief core combined. How about some walk-in music for the guy who comes on with nobody out and the bases loaded in the sixth and puts out the fire? Without him, the closer never gets in the game.
@@AstroGGBaseball LOL no I do not. Narco was Sugar's walk up music when he was a hot-throwing rookie in Seattle in 2016 until he was traded in the Mariners' 2018 rebuild. I miss him. Every Ms fan knew about Sugar and Narco before he got famous in New York. But nobody cares about us in the PNW.
@@AstroGGBaseball What's with "this season"? He got hurt celebrating during the World Baseball Classic and is out for the year, so Narco hasn't been played once. Those clips were from last year.
I Love and will always be a fan of GnR, AC/DC, Metallica, RATM and they all make for classic, get you excited walk out songs. But I gotta admit, there is something about that dang Timmy Trumpet walk out for E. Diaz that is very cool.
Eric Gagne's Welcome to the Jungle was amazing. Honorable mention to Taylor Rogers whose short-lived time as Padres closer was special --> Fleetwood Mac's The Chain. A ballsy non-metal selection which still featured a menacing beat.
I use to work at old Padre Stadium Hells Bells would give the whole crowd goose bumps the hairs on your body would stand up. Its Hoffman 1st and nobody else comes close.
The Robb Nen disrespect is unreal. Smoke on the Water for entrance music and a 93 mph slider named The Terminator. Guy sacrificed his career in his prime to chase a ring. He’s an all time great closer
Torço pro Yankees, mas Trevor Hoffman(e Ryan Helsley) adotaram a música mais foda para um closer na história da MLB. Hell's Bells deixa o rebatedor se tremendo TODO, quase que mijando nas calças.
When I clicked into this video I was expecting to see John Rocker. Not because of some entrance music. But just because of his psycho sprint to the mound.
Title should be Best Closer Entrances since 2000, not of all time. Nobody entered a game like Sparky Lyle...hopped out of the golf cart, cheek full of Redman and threw his jacket to the bat boy. A mean ass dude who defined the role of reliever for all that followed.
I know this is about the entrance and not the players, but the thing about Rivera was that for many years it was an 8 inning game against the Yankees. He was automatic. It was depressing as an opposing fan.
I’ve always thought it was a missed opportunity for Hoffman’s Hells Bells to not play in Philadelphia. The Giant ass Liberty Bell that rocks back and forth at the stadium would’ve been perfect.
Left off Fernando rodney at the end of his career coming out to live the nighr An old example but john franco when he was closer came out to johnny b goode and was basically in those days the only thing met fans could love about shea Hansel robles using the undertsker theme lol
While I respect the entrance by Hoffman I personally would put Mo ahead of him. There was a reason they used "Enter Sandman" for his walkout song. When he came into the game it was over. He was an intimidating closer on the mound. Thats not to say that the rest of these guys arent/werent and maybe Im biased having grown up with baseball in the era when Rivera was the best closer in all of baseball but I think hes the best of the bunch on this list.
The world can say whatever it wants about all of that "old man music"...when you want to send a message, when you want to set a tone, when you want to intimidate your opponent...there's a reason people aren't selecting stuff recorded recently.
It wasnt as spectacular but in AZ we had Michael Meyers (not joking) who came out to the Halloween theme song 🤣 even had one season ticket holder who wore the mask right along one of the foul line walls

"Daddy's home!" "HELLS BELLS!!!!!"
Maybe get your kid Trumpet lessons?

*Meanwhile in Las Vegas*
Is Trevor Hoffman coming in?
@@AstroGGBaseball "No it's 5 pm"
Trevor time, In his prime…nothing like it. Go SD
No the best thing about it was he actually loves Metal… friend of mine sent him a mix tape his first year with the Marlins, packed full of metal to warm up to.. met him on the field one day and told him he was the one who sent it, Trevor thanked him and told him he loved the tape… Love seeing him at the top of this list
Still gives chill to watch the Hoff coming in. He was so damn good.

I loved Gagne's entrance but bumped it down because there was no good footage:(
Church bells ≠ Hells bells . I liked what you said, but seems kind of ironic lol
@@xXxFroztyy Hoffman's entrance song was definitely an oxymoron lol but it just made sense in San Diego
I don't think of the Padres.
Love that the “Omar whistle” has become a Baltimore sports staple. Used to seeing it for the Ravens intro but when they did it for Bautista we went nuts!!
I love that as a walkout song, I just wish it was a bit louder
I get hyped by Narco, I got excited for Enter Sandman...
But when you hear that first bell of Hell's Bells, especially in Hoffman's days, I would consistently just get *CHILLS*
Edwin Diaz's entrance was really the 1st one I got to expirience. I just love that the second the 1st bell sounds, Hoffman appears.
goddamn, as a lifelong red sox fan I remember being terrorized by Enter Sandman as a kid. The few times the sox ever scored on Rivera it felt like a freaking miracle. To a young fan, Rivera was basically a horseman of the apocalypse. Absolute legend.
I think he terrorized every team in thr league. Well, not the D-Backs
Yeah, but you guys have a pretty awesome band as your house band.
I’m just saw Dropkick last weekend…in Southern California…and they were talking about your darn Sox.
I hate the Sox more than the Yankees…buts that’s only because my Angels can beat the Yankees.
Watching Koji Uehara at Fenway in the 2013 playoffs is one of my all time favorite memories. Whole stadium on their feet going crazy
Fenway park has always seemed like such a cool environment, really want to go there someday
1° Ricky Vaughn wild thing 1989 is the best entrance of all time🥇
😂
Absolutely!! Forget about the curve ball Ricky...Give em the Heater!
i was hoping that was gunna be number 1 😂
Literally started this whole thing
HE WANTS THE RIGHTY THE MILD THING! THE GRAB YOUR NECK AND CHOKE THING!!!!!!!!!
Got to see Helsley live and let me tell you that was something else and it fits so perfectly.
I did really like the lighting.
Such a treat of mine to grow up in SD with pads season tix throughout his career. I almost got teary eyed with that!
Must've been really cool to see him all those years
There will never, EVER be a closer entrance better than Mariano Rivera. Enter Sandman was the perfect song for him since every player in baseball had nightmares about facing him.
I love Rivera’s but I just like Hoffmans more
@@AstroGGBaseballhot take
Exactly and it's not even close
LOL. this is the funniest comment I’ve read today
There's nothing about Rivera's song that makes it better than other closer in general. The only reason its on the top 10 list is because of Rivera himself who was such a dominating closer.

I like it but it's relatively new and unknown, and hells bells was already used by hoffman so a tad uncreative but still a great entrance
Agree 100%
hells bells is Trevor Hoffman. Not this cardinals guy. It'll always be Hoffman.
i love Mo he’ll be my #1 for a long time but that rage.. IT DOES SOMETHING TO YOU
I honestly had no idea about the rage. Very Unique and cool.
Trying to explain just how awesome hearing those bells and watching Hoffy coming in was to someone never does it justice. You just had to be there! I was also at Petco when they honored Trevor for his HoF selection. Stadium went dark, Hells Bells came on, and then just Trevor lit up on the pitchers mound. Will remember that the rest of my life!
This is the theatrics of baseball that makes going to a game worth it.
Yeah, they usually don't show the entrances on TV unless it was a milestone or something
A reminder that Oakland has the fans, and the passion
As a Padres fan, who got to witness many of Hoffman's entrances, I still get chills
I wish I got to see it. Just seeing the crowd would give you the impression that the padres won
Same!
Too bad you did not get too many rings
Nothing compares to hearing Enter Sandman and seeing Mo enter, especially live.
Absolutely incredible
Best closer of all time coming in to the best song of all time.
We have the rings to prove it.
I was at Mo's celebration game , seeing Metallica live was otherworldly
I don't know if he was ever a closer but Brett Cecil having Sober by Tool as his entrance song was epic
I liked the song but not really the entrance
Rick Vaughn from the Cleveland Indians. Hearing "Wild Thing" still gives me goosebumps.
I love that movie
Its jon moxleys music now
I got to experience Gagne's entrance twice as a youngster at Dodger Stadium. Crowd was deafening each time!
That in the middle of an 84 straight save streak. Sucks I couldn't find a little better footage.
I saw him in the middle of that streak. I still remember "Bonsoir, Monsieur Gagne," from Vin Scully as he called the game.
@@bethphillips1882 😂
what song is it
@@Adrianobrien-l7g Welcome to the jungle
Mariano….chills. All of these are great. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome.
Inject Grant Belfour's walkup sequence directly into my veins
That environment was crazy
I’m not even a Oakland fan but that entrance is insane just cause of the craziness that is Oakland fans
Koji Uehara's 2013 season footages still give me goosebumps.
When did he retire?
As a Twins fan, Duran should have been on this list. Yes, he isn’t even compatible to the Enter Sandman one or Hells Bells, but his is pretty incredible
The unique thing about Edwin Diaz’s walk-up music is that the Mets actually got Timmy Trumpet to play the song in person for one of his games.
I know, it was really cool and that's coming from a Braves fan
This vid never gets old thank you
You're welcome.
I never cease to marvel at the cult of the closer. They pitch one inning, almost never with anyone on base, and make more than the rest of the relief core combined. How about some walk-in music for the guy who comes on with nobody out and the bases loaded in the sixth and puts out the fire? Without him, the closer never gets in the game.
That's true, but closers are the flashiest and most interesting bullpen arms.
When Mo came out that last time….lifelong Braves fan but gosh dang the tears were flowing
I kinda wish he came in for a save opportunity but a really sad and cool moment nevertheless
Lately David Bednar entering to Renegade by Styx is a pretty fun one, especially being in Pittsburgh where the Steelers use Renegade as their anthem
I think that could become really good considering Bednar is becoming one of the best closers in MLB
Same with Hader, both deserve to be on here over Diaz
Thank you for this video. I KNEW I remembered a rock intro song for a Mariners closer just couldn't remember for the longest time.
Only thing I wish was you showed a night game for Trevor's Hell's Bells Man its electric
This was the best footage I could find because it was from TV.
Lot of saves in there. Was fun to watch. Great video
Thank you!
As a Mariners fan I'm so glad everyone finally knows about Diaz and his entrance to Narco.
You mean Mets?
@@AstroGGBaseball LOL no I do not. Narco was Sugar's walk up music when he was a hot-throwing rookie in Seattle in 2016 until he was traded in the Mariners' 2018 rebuild. I miss him.
Every Ms fan knew about Sugar and Narco before he got famous in New York. But nobody cares about us in the PNW.
@@fencingperson Really? I didn't know he had an entrance before this season. I also forget he played for Seattle.
@@AstroGGBaseball What's with "this season"? He got hurt celebrating during the World Baseball Classic and is out for the year, so Narco hasn't been played once. Those clips were from last year.
All are perfect. Enter Sandman is a beauty. Timmy Trumpet, Guns N Roses…I mean…just missing Ricky Vaughn!
The first ever closer entrance I witnessed was mo’s last game. Although it was on tv I’m very grateful to have seen that
Made it there just in time. My first was Edwin Diaz's entrance.
Weird. Mariano’s Enter Sandman by Metallica Was #2 & Trevor Hoffman’s Hells Bells by ACDC Was #1? Ironic Don’t You Think?
Watching Koji walk across the diamond when I was a kid was absolute pandemonium
This is actually such an underrated entrance
Kimbrel's was the first i ever saw and it instilled into me a love of dramatic entrances that I wish more players had.
Great list a personal favorite is Bobby Jenks came in to Here comes the Boom by p.o.d hitting 100 in the early 2000 (when that was a big deal lol)
I know Ozzy Guilline used to hold his arms out wide to signal for Jenks. That probably deserves an honorable mention
The live version of welcome to the jungle with axel screaming "your in the jungle baby, time to DIE!" would be elite
I Love and will always be a fan of GnR, AC/DC, Metallica, RATM and they all make for classic, get you excited walk out songs. But I gotta admit, there is something about that dang Timmy Trumpet walk out for E. Diaz that is very cool.
I don't even like the song that much but something about it makes it so cool
@@AstroGGBaseball if you guys played mlb the show 23, you would grow to hate the song lmao .
@@xXxFroztyy lol i'm about to get it
Watched as a fan and for inspiration for a walk up song for my 13 yr old
John Smoltz had one that was fire when he came out to Thunderstruck by AC/DC. I thought that would be on the list.
As a Braves fan, I saw a lot of comments about John Smoltz but I couldn't find any
imagine the blown saves from these guys after coming out like this
Have you seen Liam hendriks? Its so good you gotta put it on here.
I love the lighting but there isn't any music sadly:(
Eric Gagne's Welcome to the Jungle was amazing. Honorable mention to Taylor Rogers whose short-lived time as Padres closer was special --> Fleetwood Mac's The Chain. A ballsy non-metal selection which still featured a menacing beat.
I remember Rogers being the best closer in baseball for a few weeks then being awful the rest of the year.
@@AstroGGBaseball yep that sums it up pretty well
How do you not put Liam Hendriks in the top 10?
Trevor Hoffman was like seeing the undertaker coming out for the first time.
NOW ENTERING THE RING.... TREVORRRRRRR HOFFMAN!!!!!!
I'm a Mets fan but that AC/DC bell shatters. It's so good.
especially how the second the first bell sounds hoffman steps onto the field
I guess All-Star games don't count but #1 has to be Mariano at his last ASG when the team came off the field.
That was sick.
Wild Thing you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
In Atlanta, when Kimbrel came out to pitch, it felt like you could feel the heat coming off the video ribbons! It was intense
As a Braves fan who start watching baseball until 2017ish I’m really sad I never experienced this
It begins and ends with Hell's Bells.
I’m surprised that Jhoan Duran( idk if that’s how u spell his name) from the twins isn’t there bc his entrance is amazing
I use to work at old Padre Stadium Hells Bells would give the whole crowd goose bumps the hairs on your body would stand up. Its Hoffman 1st and nobody else comes close.
facts
This how they should bring out the kicker at football games!
Imagine your team is looking for a game-winning field goal, and then the lights go off and hells bells starts playing.
Im curious, if you were a Major league closing pitcher, which song would you hav chosen?
Either Sweet Child O Mine or Back in Black
Radioactive. I would even pause to take a breathe on the Breathing in the Chemicals part of the song .
@@tdogg46142 That's actually a really good walkout song I didn't even think about it.
@@AstroGGBaseball bro you chose two of the most valid songs ever lmao
I will respect the fuck out of any man that will put Darude - Sandstorm as his entrance.
What a legend. 😂
Make more content like this and I will sub. Not a fan of the other videos you got. At least in that format. Turn it into a compilation if anything.
@@MrGrombie I'll be making more videos like this soon
Im surprised nobody has ever used the theme from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, its perfect for a closer's entrance
The Robb Nen disrespect is unreal. Smoke on the Water for entrance music and a 93 mph slider named The Terminator. Guy sacrificed his career in his prime to chase a ring. He’s an all time great closer
bro imagine playing the biggest game of your life and you just see this 💀💀 you cooked
Romano has one of the best entrence
He was probably like #11.
100% he does
Torço pro Yankees, mas Trevor Hoffman(e Ryan Helsley) adotaram a música mais foda para um closer na história da MLB. Hell's Bells deixa o rebatedor se tremendo TODO, quase que mijando nas calças.
I doubt that. The music is for fans
Mariano Rivera’s Sandman entrance was badass
When I clicked into this video I was expecting to see John Rocker. Not because of some entrance music. But just because of his psycho sprint to the mound.
Check out Duran's on the Twins now.
Trevor Time... goose bumps!!
Where is Jordan Romano
Overrated Entrance ngl
Rob Nenn coming into Smoke on the Water right on SF Bay. Perfect.
Glen Perkins, gods gonna cut you down by Johnny cash is a good one too
The crowd was the best for grant balfour that was awesome
Fr
1. Diaz (w/ a live Timmy Trumpet)
2. Riviera (for obvious reasons)
3. Balfour (best Fan reaction - what says you Fisher?!)
Go Phillies!
No Hoffman?
What would be playing for Dennis Eckersley or Lee Smith?
I don't think stadiums could play music back then
@@AstroGGBaseball i guess hypothetical then.
Title should be Best Closer Entrances since 2000, not of all time. Nobody entered a game like Sparky Lyle...hopped out of the golf cart, cheek full of Redman and threw his jacket to the bat boy. A mean ass dude who defined the role of reliever for all that followed.
Never heard of him but that sounds really cool
FINALLY SOMEONE ADDED BALFOUR
I know this is about the entrance and not the players, but the thing about Rivera was that for many years it was an 8 inning game against the Yankees. He was automatic. It was depressing as an opposing fan.
I wish I could've seen Rivera play, he looked like such a cool player
So cool
Welcome to the Jungle is the perfect song for a closer to enter to
Agreed
Have you seen Liam Hendricks's with the white sox?
That was basically tied with Helsley but I need some music. Probably had the best lights though
I’ve always thought it was a missed opportunity for Hoffman’s Hells Bells to not play in Philadelphia. The Giant ass Liberty Bell that rocks back and forth at the stadium would’ve been perfect.
It would probably sound different from the song though
Trevor used it first, but Ryan literally has Hels in his name so... it's cool.
I just realized that... I don't think it was on purpose but still
What about Jordan Romano?
Didn't love his
I would have bumped Balfour up like 5 spots just because of how hype those fans were getting.
The reason I put it at 9 is because it only has all those fans because the A's can clinch the division lead on the last day of the season.
A very overlooked walk out song is Ryan Pressly to “God’s gonna cut you down” by johnny cash.
Left off Fernando rodney at the end of his career coming out to live the nighr
An old example but john franco when he was closer came out to johnny b goode and was basically in those days the only thing met fans could love about shea
Hansel robles using the undertsker theme lol
Jordan Romano's entrance in Toronto is better than most of these should check it out.
It's pretty decent but not as good as some others on this list in my opinion
Man if you haven’t seen Ryan Pressly walking out to Johnny Cash you’re missing out
I just saw it, it was really cool
Why isn't Mariano's entrance #1 he's won championships with that entrance? His postseason stats are still the best in baseball
best entrances not best closers
I forgot about Hoffman so when I saw Rivera 2nd, I was thinking, what is Kenny Powers 1st?
No, I just put Rivera twice
If Jhoan Duran continues on the pace he's at currently then coming out to the Undertaker's theme will be Iconic.
Duran is so scary to face so as long as he keeps this up he will definitely be on this list one day
While I respect the entrance by Hoffman I personally would put Mo ahead of him. There was a reason they used "Enter Sandman" for his walkout song. When he came into the game it was over. He was an intimidating closer on the mound. Thats not to say that the rest of these guys arent/werent and maybe Im biased having grown up with baseball in the era when Rivera was the best closer in all of baseball but I think hes the best of the bunch on this list.
I see your point
Close
The world can say whatever it wants about all of that "old man music"...when you want to send a message, when you want to set a tone, when you want to intimidate your opponent...there's a reason people aren't selecting stuff recorded recently.
It wasnt as spectacular but in AZ we had Michael Meyers (not joking) who came out to the Halloween theme song 🤣 even had one season ticket holder who wore the mask right along one of the foul line walls
What was Jonathan’s walk up?
I'm Shipping Up to Boston
What would it take for an MLB team to get a real "Wild Thing!" as a closer?
Trevor Bauer coming back to MLB and becoming a closer
"I Am Boon" I always imagined if I was a Closer that my entrance song would "Taking Care of Business" by BTO
That is a pretty good choice
Heath Bell's sliding entrance was fun
Absolutely nothing tops Mo and Enter Sandman. When Enter Sandman started playing and the Yankees had a lead the game was over.
JJ brought a lot of excitement to Safeco in those days
I had no idea who he was until I saw his entrance
