Eric Thames has a theme song.
After posting a truly ridiculous .345/.466/.810 to go along with 11 home runs and a 1.276 OPS during his first month with the Brewers, he probably deserves one.
But rather than saddle Thames with some pedestrian pop song, the Korean Baseball Organization’s NC Dinos went out and wrote their own while the bearded first baseman was clubbing his way to a KBO MVP award.
Seriously.
First, some background: So-called “cheer songs” are a big deal in the KBO, where teams invest significant marketing dollars in licensing or composing songs for specific players, and employ cheerleaders to sing them.
