To celebrate the Opening Week of MLB season 2009 I kicked off Yo! KALX Raps! with "Batting Practice" by Souls of Mischief (one of my favorite songs off 93 'Til Infinity and the only hip-hop song sort-of-about-baseball song I could think of). However, this was just a segue to the real theme of the show which was was Los Angeles hip-hop in memory of Nick Adenhart. Adenhart was a young and rising star on the Los Angeles Angel's pitching staff who was tragically killed in car accident hours after pitching six scoreless innings against the Oakland A's.
A truly sad loss not just for the Angels but for the entire community of major league baseball.
