Entry music for closers is a big deal.
Joe Nathan used Steel Dragon's Stand Up and Shout when he was the Twins' closer and Glen Perkins used Johnny Cash's God's Gonna Cut You Down.
But Fernando Rodney, the Twins' closer, has pretty much kicked them to the curb with a video of Live the Night by W&W and Hardwell and Lil Jon.
