As the Colorado Rockies embark on their 25th season, we figured this would be a great time to bring together two of Denver’s greatest features: Rockies baseball and world-class water.

How? With walk-up songs, of course!

A relatively new staple of the modern baseball experience, walk-up songs allow players to express themselves (or send a hidden message) by strutting to the plate or trotting in from the bullpen with a favorite song blasting through the stadium.

Players put a lot of thought into their songs, so we thought we would lend a hand to the men in purple this year.

Lo and behold, a hand-picked list of only the finest water jams to help the Rockies encourage fans (many of whom are Denver Water customers) to think a little more about their water.

Drumroll please …

Center fielder Charlie Blackmon:

Song: “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” Creedence Clearwater Revival. We have seen the rain and would love to see more. Also, “Chuck Nazty” looks like a long lost member of CCR.

Second basemen DJ LeMahieu:

Song: “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head,” B.J. Thomas. More like, base hits keep falling in the outfield. The defending National League batting champ always has other pitchers singin’ the blues.

Right fielder Carlos Gonzalez:

Song: “Cry Me a River,” Justin Timberlake (or Michael Buble, if you prefer). Cargo’s sweet swing has been known to make opposing pitchers weep, with Rockies fans leaking tears of joy.

Third basemen Nolan Arenado:

Song: “Make It Rain,” Foy Vance (Ed Sheeran has a version, too). The perennial MVP candidate makes baseballs rain on the bleachers with regularity.

Shortstop Trevor Story:

Song: “Story of My Life,” One Direction. Ok, so it’s not about water — we just couldn’t resist the Story pun. And this gross GIF. Moving on …

First baseman Mark Reynolds:

Song: “Old Man River,” Paul Robeson. Reynolds is the oldest player on the Rockies active roster. It’s the obvious choice. Sorry, Mark …

Starting pitcher Jon Gray:

Song: “Lake of Fire,” Nirvana. The lyrics include: “Where do bad folks go when they die? ... They go to the lake of fire and fry.” Not to be too melodramatic, but that sounds like what hitters deal with when facing the flame-throwing ace.

For the bullpen, we'll go with “Bridge over Troubled Water” by Simon and Garfunkel. This classic should inspire Rockies relievers to overcome even the most stressful situations.

And can somebody please use Prince’s “Purple Rain” already? It’s too perfect. If only Prince Fielder had played for the Rockies …

Assuming they don’t choose any of these songs, we still wish the Rockies well this season. We love baseball.

Oh, and for Denver Water's walk-up song, we’ll go with the Milli Vanilli classic, “Blame it on the Rain.” Perfect for rain delays. We love those, too.
