The Most Ridiculous Song Written About Each Major League Baseball Team

Over the years in Major League Baseball, just about every team has developed some sort of a theme song, generally used as a rallying cry of sorts for the team when they're making a push toward the playoffs.

While some of the songs used have gone down as classics over the years (1979 Pittsburgh Pirates "We Are Family"; 1967 Boston Red Sox "The Impossible Dream") others were just, well, lame.

Bleacher Report will take a look at songs used by major league teams over the years as their particular theme song, and we'll let you decide whether "lame" would be the best word to describe them.

Arizona Diamondbacks

Used in 2008 by the Arizona Diamondbacks as they tried to build on their division-winning season the previous year, the Crispy Brothers remix of a Soulja Boy classic was the rallying cry.

Too bad it didn't work—the D-Backs fell to a second-place finish in the NL West that season.

Atlanta Braves

The country group Whiskey Falls came up with a classic called "Load Up The Bases," which became the theme song for the Atlanta Braves during the 2008 season, and the song was used on FSN before, during and after Braves games as well.

Problem is, the song did nothing for the Braves' play on the field, as they fell to their worst single-season record since 1990.

Baltimore Orioles

Welcome home, Baltimore. That was the theme song used for the Baltimore Orioles as they moved into their brand-spanking new stadium, Oriole Park at Camden Yards in 1992.

The song did help somewhat—the O's won 22 more games in 1992 in their new park than the previous season, but still not good enough to make the playoffs.

Boston Red Sox

In 1967, local radio personality Jess Cain recorded a song about Boston Red Sox legendary Hall of Fame player Carl Yastrzemski, as he became the last player in major league history to hit for the Triple Crown.

The song was incredibly popular in the Boston area with the rabid local fans, but not so much everywhere else.

Chicago Cubs

During their long and storied history, the long-suffering Chicago Cubs have tried just about every trick imaginable to break their World Series victory drought that has now lasted 103 seasons and counting.

In 1969, fans thought the Cubs finally put together something special, and the song "Hey Hey, Holy Mackerel," was created and used as a theme song for that season, and for some years after that.

Problem is, the Miracle Mets had their own magical season that year.

Chicago White Sox

When the Chicago White Sox won the American League pennant in 1959, it represented their first AL championship in 40 years.

In honor of their achievement, Captain Stubby and the Buccaneers, a popular local group, recorded a song that essentially became the theme song for the local nine.

In 2005, the White Sox captured their first World Series championship in 88 years, and the song was more or less resurrected on several occasions that season.

Cheesy, but it worked.

Cincinnati Reds

How about this popular little ditty produced in 2010?

Titled Proud Dusty, the song is a tribute to Cincinnati Reds third baseman Scott Rolen and the rest of the Reds during their division-winning season and their first trip to the playoffs since 1995.

Cleveland Indians

Yeah, Let's Go, Tribe!

Considering the Cleveland Indians haven't won a World Series since 1948, they need every rallying cry they can get, and this one has fit the bill for the Tribe for the past few years.

Colorado Rockies

This absolutely has to be one of the lamest MLB team fight songs I have ever heard.

I really don't know what else to say.

Detroit Tigers

This particular song was the unofficial theme song for the Detroit Tigers during their World Series run in 1968.

Denny McLain and Mickey Lolich were the real stars of that team, and they weren't even mentioned in the song. Ouch.

Houston Astros

For the 1980s Houston Astros, they didn't have much to look forward to, except for their 1986 pennant run that fell just short against the New York Mets.

This theme song from that same era certainly wasn't much to look forward to.

Kansas City Royals

This isn't so much a song about the Kansas City Royals, but about its former first baseman, "Big" John Mayberry.

As Forrest Gump once said, that's about all I have to say about that.

Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels have had a 50-year history, and with the exception of 2002, much of it has been filled with heartache (1986 and 1979, anyone?).

Several songs have been written about and for the Angels. Train's Calling All Angels has been their unofficial theme song for several years now.

However, when Kito Dickson and Shaka Dickson of PressureConna got together to write a little ditty about current Angels' star Torii Hunter, it left all other Angels' songs in the dust as far as ridiculousness.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Entertainer Danny Kaye had a great career in Hollywood as an actor/singer/comedian/do-it-all guy.

However, this particular Los Angeles Dodgers theme song he recorded in the early 1960s is definitely not one of his shining moments.

Miami Marlins

The Florida Marlins actually made it through two World Series championships in their short history without having a theme song. Two years ago, former Creed frontman Scott Stapp looked to change that.

The Marlins certainly soared this offseason, so maybe Stapp's little ditty can get some mileage next season.

Milwaukee Brewers

Back in the 1980s, the "Brew Crew" teams of the Milwaukee Brewers were all the rage in a town that hadn't seen a championship since the Braves won it all in 1957.

The theme song didn't help them win the World Series back then. Maybe they should make a theme song fitting the current team situation, something along the lines of Sam Cooke's A Change is Gonna Come.

Minnesota Twins

For the World Series-winning Minnesota Twins in 1991, Drive Time '91 was the little ditty that served as inspiration.

It inspired me so much to include it on this list, for sure.

New York Mets

How about this original New York Mets theme song?

No wonder they only won 40 games that first year in 1962, the song was just as crappy.

New York Yankees

For a team that has won 27 World Series championships and 40 American League pennants, is this seriously the best theme song they could come up with?

At least the chorus spelled the team name out for us, giving us an English lesson along the way.

Oakland Athletics

The title of this particular theme song is probably one of the primary reasons this "tune" made this list.

There is only one Green & Yellow, and that's the Green Bay Packers.

'Nuff said.

Philadelphia Phillies

According to the YouTube posting for this particular Philadelphia Phillies theme song, Roy Halladay used the song as inspiration for throwing his no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds in the 2010 ALDS.

Yeah, I can totally see Halladay listening to this song at least 100 times before taking the field.

Pittsburgh Pirates

I can't call this particular theme song ridiculous at all.

In fact, We Are Family became as popular for its association with the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates than it did in the world of disco.

San Diego Padres

Back in 2005, the San Diego Padres ran a promotion asking fans to create a theme song.

A group called Atomic Groove entered this selection, and it didn't quite make the cut.

San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants won their first World Series championship in 56 years in 2010, and a young group of fans decided to put together a little ditty about the Giants repeating in 2011.

It didn't quite work.

Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners are one of the only teams in baseball who have never been to the World Series, and they also may be one of the only teams in baseball that has never really had a theme song, official or unofficial.

This particular song was actually developed for a Mariners' TV commercial, and even it's pretty lame.

St. Louis Cardinals

All I can say about this song is that the Allman Brothers Band must have been quaking in their boots when the Bud Brothers remixed this for a St. Louis Cardinals theme song.

Tampa Bay Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays haven't had a very long history, so you'll have to excuse them for not having a huge cache of theme songs to choose from.

This particular song trumpets the new name change from the Devil Rays to just the Rays, so at least Tampa citizens had something to look forward to.

Texas Rangers

At the start of the 2010 season, the Texas Rangers were looking to put a stop to the dominance of the Los Angeles Angels in the American League West, and they certainly succeeded in doing just that.

However, I'm just not sure what this particular theme song succeeded in doing at all.

Toronto Blue Jays

When the Toronto Blue Jays debuted in 1977, they also debuted their original theme song as well.

I'm wondering if Disco Duck singer Rick Dees had anything to do with picking this song.

Hear the original theme song HERE.

Washington Nationals

Are you nuts about your Nats?

I'm not so nuts about this tune, that's for sure.
