Granderson has new walk-up song thanks to Cespedes
The fans, and Yoenis Cespedes, have spoken.
On Friday, the final voting to select Curtis Granderson's walk-up music came to its conclusion and "Whoomp! (There it is)," which was suggested by Cespedes, emerged victorious.

Cespedes' selection went up against Bartolo Colon's choice of Ricky Martin's "Livin' La Vida Loca" and Wilmer Flores' pick of "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot.
Cespedes, however, used his popularity in New York to win the vote.

Granderson will step to the plate with the Tag Team classic blasting through the speakers of Citi Field for the first time during the New York Mets' home opener on Friday.
