O baseball nos Estados Unidos e Canadá está perto de viver o ápice de sua temporada já que a partir da semana que vem começa a disputa da World Series na MLB, a maior liga do esporte no planeta.
Nos últimos dias foram disputadas as finais da Liga Americana e da Liga Nacional, e definido que o título será disputado entre San Francisco Giants e Kansas City Royals.
Lá, cada jogador que entra em campo tem direito a escolher uma música que lhe acompanha, e foram listadas pela Billboard todas as canções eleitas por jogadores dos dois times acima além de St. Louis Cardinals e Baltimore Orioles, que perderam para os times citados anteriormente.
É interessante perceber que, ao contrário do que acontece no futebol brasileiro, por exemplo, onde o pop e estilos regionais como sertanejo e pagode são a lei, os ritmos mais populares são o Rock e o Rap, que somam juntos 45% de todas as canções.
A lista ficou assim:
- Rap – 27
- Rock – 26
- Country – 21
- Música latina – 19 (boa parte dos jogadores são de origem latina)
- Dance/Eletrônica – 6
- Cristã – 6
- R&B – 5
- Reggae – 3
- Pop – 3
- Instrumental – 1
- Total: 117
