ARLINGTON, Texas -- Elvis Andrus has started his 11th season for the Texas Rangers with a catchy new walk-up song -- followed by a lined single and a home run in his first two at-bats of the season.
"Baby shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo,'' reverberated through the ballpark when Andrus, the 30-year-old shortstop who is the team's longest-tenured player, walked to the plate against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.

He lined a single to left-center field in his first at-bat, and crushed a 398-foot home run to right-center field in his second.
