See what Andrew Salciuans played in The Audio Vault today. Every day on The Anthony Gargano Show, Andrew Salciunas grabs some audio that is relevant to the day, to play for us. Only today, Anthony Gagrano was out, so Andrew slid into the host Chair. Which meant it was Ray "Dickie" Dunn in the producer's chair. It was Ray's chance to delve into the Vault to pull out the Audio of his choice. And his choice was to look back at a Phillies game that took place on this day in history. Because on May 17th, 1979, the Phillies played quite a special game against the Cubs. And by special, we mean a whole lot of runs. the final was 23-22 Phillies. A score that feels more like a Football score than a Baseball one.

11 total home runs. Including two by Mike Schmidt. One in the first inning, and then another in the 10th to win it for the Phillies. The Phillies scored 7 in the first, and the Cubs followed that up with 6 of their own. Two innings later in the 3rd, the Phillies tacked on another 8. And then 2 more in the 4th, followed by 4 in the 5th. but the Cubs kept up. They scored 3 in the 4th, then 7 in the 5th.

And in honor of that wild game, Ray played some of the best moments from that game in today's Audio Vault. The many, MANY, Home Runs, the back-and-fourth run scoring. Larry Bowa calling out the Phillies pitcher Randy Lercvh who complained about never getting run support and then coughing up an early 7-run lead. Mike Schmidt winning it in extra innings, and more. Follow along with Andrew and Ray as they replay the best moments from the Phillies and Cubs wild 23-22 game.

Ranking The Starting Phillies’ Walk-Up Songs

Here's a definitive, opinion-based list ranking the Phillies' walk-up songs. Thanks to this list on MLB.com, we can take a look at all the songs the Phillies have selected.

The Phillies' Walk-Up Songs

The individual walk-up song has forever changed the ballpark experience for players and fans alike. The walk-up song not only serves as a way to get a crowd and players hype, but it also provides fans with some insight into the music taste of their favorite players.

These players pick whatever will get them excited to play. Whether it's a slow jam, a funny song, or something that's super epic, they pick what works for them.

This list in no way judges the Phillies players according to their stats or how great they are at the plate. It's ranked based on how good the song is at hyping up the crowd and getting a player motivated to do their best. Of course, all music ranking is subjective, but in this case, there may be a definitive best and worst song.

Some of these Phillies have really iconic walk-up songs. So iconic, in fact, that the entire stadium will begin to loudly sing along as soon as the song starts to play, shouting out the name of the player who's stepping up.

So here's the list, ranking the Phillies' walk-up songs:

10. Trea Turner

Look Ahead by Future
Lay Low by Tiësto

This is a kind of boring selection. Except "Look Ahead" is good. "Lay Low" is okay...but not very fitting. "Look Ahead" is really good for a baseball walk-up song. It's solidly hype.

9. Johan Rojas

HUMBLE.by Kendrick Lamar
Oh Oh Oh (Veo Veo) by Ceky Viciny
Los Cabareces by El Rubio Acordeon

Johan is a young guy, so he knows what's good with music. A highlight here for me has to be "HUMBLE." The Kendrick Lamar song is fantastic to hype a crowd up. "Oh Oh Oh (Veo Veo)" is also a fantastic choice!

8. Nick Castellanos

BACK TO ME by Kanye West, Ty Dolla $ign, and ¥$

Castellanos has changed his walk-up song to something way more hype, and I could not be happier. "BACK TO ME," from Kanye West's new album really speaks to me. No, literally. He walks up to the spoken-word part at the beginning of the song. It's fantastic.

7. Edmundo Sosa

Love Sosa by Chief Keef

Wow. What a track. What a great idea. The song is about loving Sosa. Who else to walk up to it but Edmundo SOSA?! Great choice by all involved.

6. Alec Bohm

Famous by Kanye West

"Famous" works so well for Bohm. There is a whole section of the song where it sounds like a female voice is singing his last name. That's GOTTA hype you up as a player, right? This is one that has grown on a lot of fans.

5. JT Realmuto

Money & Fame by NEEDTOBREATHE

The beginning of this song is like the soundtrack to a movie. How can you walk up to bat while this is playing and NOT feel like a badass? You'll know it when you hear it. JT knew what he was doing when he picked this one. And only one. He's a simple guy.

4. Bryce Harper

Flower by Moby
Paradise by Bazzi
Should’ve Been A Cowboy by Toby Keith
Ride Wit Me by Nelly, City Spud

Bryce, man. He's got a lot. In my opinion, he can get rid of "Paradise," because it's too wimpy. "Flower" is iconic. You'll know it when you hear it and immediately think of Bryce. He really only needs that one, but you can't fault him for variety!

3. Brandon Marsh

444+222 by Lil Uzi Vert
Pluto to Mars by Lil Uzi Vert

Props to Marsh for including a Philly-born artist. These songs are fantastic for getting a crowd excited. You'll likely recognize them when you hear them, and that's probably because of Brandon Marsh. "444+222" is a certified banger.

2. Kyle Schwarber

Thuggish Ruggish Bone by Bone Thugs N Harmony
Fantastic Voyage by Lakeside
Cult of Personality by Living Colour
Grove St. Party by Waka Flocka Flame

Maybe it's his tendency to hit Schwarbombs that grabs our attention as he steps up to bat. Maybe it's his FIRE walk-up songs. All three of these tunes perfectly encapsulate the fire he's about to bring to the field. He's a dynamic player with some really dynamic walk-up songs.

1. Bryson Stott

AOK by Tai Verdes

This is likely one of the most legendary Phillies walk-up songs. As soon as this song starts playing, the whole crowd at the ballpark begins to sing along, knowing Stott is about to be up. You can hear the crowd going nuts in the video above before his iconic grand slam. It's a great party song that has easy lyrics to learn.

Andrew Salciunas, “The Choonis,” has done it all at the station - screening calls, working events as a member of the street team, producing 7 days a week, doing updates, and now hosting his own show. Now with a wife and kid, his life experiences are far different than when he first started, but this “regular guy” knows how to relate to anyone. He writes about the Flyers, Phillies, Sixers, and Eagles.
