With the New York Mets set to battle the Philadelphia Phillies in their home-opener on Friday, Curtis Granderson will walk-up to the tune of…whatever fans chose.

Do you feel that?
All that power…running through your veins.
Where did it come from?
New York Mets right fielder Curtis Granderson, of course.
That’s right. The Grandy-Man penned a Player’s Tribune survey asking fans worldwide which song Granderson should walk out to in his home-opener at-bats.
Though, there’s a twist.
Granderson set out to ask his teammates for help in deciding the options.
Those participating include Captain David Wright, superstar Yoenis Cespedes, and Big Sexy Bartolo Colon.
Options range everywhere from Neil Walker‘s choice: Michael Jackson‘s “Beat It,” all the way to Jeurys Familia‘s: Drake’s single “Summer Sixteen.”
The 35-year-old, who leads off New York’s batting order, finished last season with a .259 average, 26 homers, 70 RBI, and 91 walks.
His Mets will take on the Royals in the second game of the season, Tuesday at 4:15 pm ET.
