The best/most epic closer entrances of all time. Thanks for watching!
Thanks to baseball forever for the idea!

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.

[@AstroGGBaseball]

*Meanwhile in Las Vegas* Is Trevor Hoffman coming in?

Trevor time, In his prime…nothing like it. Go SD

[@billcaracofe8196]

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

[@vinceruland9236]

Still gives chill to watch the Hoff coming in. He was so damn good.

[@DavidRamirez9054]

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

[@AstroGGBaseball]

I loved Gagne's entrance but bumped it down because there was no good footage:(

[@xXxFroztyy]

Church bells ≠ Hells bells . I liked what you said, but seems kind of ironic lol

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*

[@AstroGGBaseball]

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.

[@gwingcommander]

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.

[@AstroGGBaseball]

I think he terrorized every team in thr league. Well, not the D-Backs

[@furioussherman7265]

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.

[@AstroGGBaseball]

I love Rivera’s but I just like Hoffmans more

[@wu718tang]

​@@AstroGGBaseballhot take

[@johncase8534]

Exactly and it's not even close

[@watupkidd1]

LOL. this is the funniest comment I’ve read today

[@gabrielsandoval7331]

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.

[@TD20015]

Watching Koji Uehara at Fenway in the 2013 playoffs is one of my all time favorite memories. Whole stadium on their feet going crazy

[@AstroGGBaseball]

Fenway park has always seemed like such a cool environment, really want to go there someday

[@Milkman-xp3nj]

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!!

[@AstroGGBaseball]

I love that as a walkout song, I just wish it was a bit louder

[@robbybryant229]

This is the theatrics of baseball that makes going to a game worth it.

[@AstroGGBaseball]

Yeah, they usually don't show the entrances on TV unless it was a milestone or something

[@coconuc2980]

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

[@AstroGGBaseball]

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

[@josephbaker9974]

Agree 100%

[@clintonpflum8950]

hells bells is Trevor Hoffman. Not this cardinals guy. It'll always be Hoffman.

[@joshbigwoo]

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.

[@danielreshef5299]

Nothing compares to hearing Enter Sandman and seeing Mo enter, especially live.

[@EpicGamerzism]

I don't know if he was ever a closer but Brett Cecil having Sober by Tool as his entrance song was epic

A reminder that Oakland has the fans, and the passion

[@KISStributeNYC97]

Mariano….chills. All of these are great. Thanks for the video.

[@AstroGGBaseball]

You're welcome.

[@joefiedler9815]

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!

[@TGsports_Free2watch]

I’m not even a Oakland fan but that entrance is insane just cause of the craziness that is Oakland fans

[@AstroGGBaseball]

That in the middle of an 84 straight save streak. Sucks I couldn't find a little better footage.

[@justinheinz6374]

All are perfect. Enter Sandman is a beauty. Timmy Trumpet, Guns N Roses…I mean…just missing Ricky Vaughn!

[@GMan2118]

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)

[@AstroGGBaseball]

I know Ozzy Guilline used to hold his arms out wide to signal for Jenks. That probably deserves an honorable mention

[@JBM425]

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.

[@AstroGGBaseball]

I know, it was really cool and that's coming from a Braves fan

[@HPayne62]

Kimbrel's was the first i ever saw and it instilled into me a love of dramatic entrances that I wish more players had.

[@mc76]

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]

That's true, but closers are the flashiest and most interesting bullpen arms.

[@GhostGuyExplorations412]

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

[@AstroGGBaseball]

I think that could become really good considering Bednar is becoming one of the best closers in MLB

[@jeremylando40]

Same with Hader, both deserve to be on here over Diaz

[@mittensmcghee4916]

This how they should bring out the kicker at football games!

[@AstroGGBaseball]

Imagine your team is looking for a game-winning field goal, and then the lights go off and hells bells starts playing.

[@fencingperson]

As a Mariners fan I'm so glad everyone finally knows about Diaz and his entrance to Narco.

[@AstroGGBaseball]

You mean Mets?

[@fencingperson]

​@@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]

@@fencingperson Really? I didn't know he had an entrance before this season. I also forget he played for Seattle.

[@robbarbieri8676]

[@tad1980]

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.

[@AstroGGBaseball]

I remember Rogers being the best closer in baseball for a few weeks then being awful the rest of the year.

[@tad1980]

@@AstroGGBaseball yep that sums it up pretty well

[@ethan1point0]

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
