Eugenio Suárez gets new walk-up song after becoming American citizen

In his first at-bat since becoming an American citizen, Cincinnati Reds slugger Eugenio Suárez got a new walk-up song.

When he stepped to the plate in the second inning, Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The USA" began playing throughout Great American Ball Park.

The music change was orchestrated by his teammates after Suárez left the team earlier this week to take the U.S. naturalization test in Miami and ultimately passed to become an American citizen.

"It's very, very cool," Reds manager Terry Francona told reporters Sept. 4. "He was excited and he should be. It's very neat."

Prior to the Reds-Brewers matchup, Suárez had an American flag draped over his locker along with a red, white and blue cowboy hat.

Suárez worked a walk against Milwaukee starter Shane Drohan, then scored two batters later on Matt McLain's go-ahead two-run homer.

In his next at-bat in the third inning, "God Bless the USA" played again and Suárez launched a three-run home run to put the Reds up, 6-4. It was Suárez's 210th career homer as a Red, tying him with Ken Griffey Jr. for ninth most in team history.

Assuming Leftists know “God Bless the USA” is President Trump’s walk-on music at his rallies, Eugenio Suarez is going to catch hell from leftists for this.

Geno is a class act. He melts when he is around his baby girls. Great husband. He is the element that makes a club house gel. Greatly missed by the Seattle Mariners

Congratulations to Geno!!!

That’s how you become an American. Not by paying an American killing “coyote” seven to ten thousand dollars to sneak you up to the river and then have a Customs and Border Patrol agent PIGGY back you across so your new, FREE, Nikes don’t get muddy.

If I were a player, especially if I were a closer, I think I'd be tempted to use the Triumphal March from Aida.

God Bless America is the walk on song for ALL Americans, not just Trump and Suarez. ... especially the Kate Smith rendition.

I’m Proud to be an American is a distant 2d.
