Nothing says baseball like hotdogs, beer, and a stadium full of cheering fans — whose cheers are matched only by the sounds of the stadium organ. Just ask Matthew Kaminski, Organ Player for the Atlanta Braves. Since joining the Braves in 2009, he’s earned a reputation for the his highly personalized – and often playful – introductory music he gives players up to bat.
