Edwin Díaz has made his way to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it's not just his elite closing skills that have fans buzzing. The Dodgers, fresh off back-to-back World Series victories, have also embraced his iconic entrance music, "Narco," complete with its electrifying trumpet sounds.
Díaz's entrance, which began during his time with the Seattle Mariners, truly became a spectacle with the New York Mets, turning each bullpen appearance into an event reminiscent of a pro wrestling entrance. Now, the Dodgers are taking it up a notch in Hollywood style. They've enlisted a live trumpeter, Tatiana Tate, to ensure that Díaz's entrance is as grand as ever, ready to play him onto the field whenever needed.
During the season opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Tate took to the bleachers, trumpet in hand, as Díaz made his dramatic walk from the outfield to the mound. While the live performance added a unique flair to the game, it sparked some chatter on social media, with a few critics suggesting that the rendition didn't quite hit the mark.
However, Dodgers fans were quick to rally behind Tate, showing their support and appreciation for her live performances. Among her supporters is Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who didn't hold back his praise, declaring, “She needs to be there every night.”
In true Los Angeles fashion, the Dodgers are blending sports and entertainment, making each game an unforgettable experience for fans. With Díaz on the mound and Tate in the bleachers, the Dodgers are setting the stage for another thrilling season.
