"When Miller got the call to the mound to preserve the Padres' 3-0 lead in the ninth inning, the stadium went dark, and Korn's 'Blind' began to play, with singer Jonathan Davis' trademark 'Are You Ready?' scream echoing through Petco Park."
"Miller was promoted to the closer role this season after being a setup man last year. When asked prior to the season what his entrance music would be, the pitcher was coy, only saying, 'The song's not for me, it's for everybody else. I hope everybody else enjoys it.'"
"The Padres are no stranger to having a relief pitcher with electrifying entrance music, as Hall of Famer Trevor Hoffman used to famously walk out to AC/DC's 'Hells Bells.'"
Mason Miller made his season debut as the San Diego Padres' closer, entering to Korn's 1994 classic 'Blind.' The stadium darkened as the song played, energizing the crowd. Miller, previously a setup man, expressed that the entrance music was for the fans. He successfully shut down the Detroit Tigers, securing his first save of the season. The Padres have a history of memorable entrance music, with Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera being notable examples of iconic closers.
