Here’s the latest on Daulton Varsho’s walk-up song.
- Varsho has publicly stated he will not change his walk-up song, Alex Warren’s “Ordinary,” despite fan backlash and a Change.org petition. The player cited a personal reason—his daughter loves the song—as the basis for keeping it in place.[1][3][5]
- Coverage across outlets confirms the fan petition and Varsho’s stance, with several articles highlighting the tension between the crowd’s desire for a vibe shift and his personal connection to the track.[2][5]
- There’s also context noting that the situation emerged early in the Blue Jays’ season and became a talking point around the team’s performance, though Varsho’s bat has been cited as more impactful to the team’s momentum than the song choice.[3][5]
If you’d like, I can pull quotes from Hazel Mae’s reporting or summarize fan reactions from social posts around this topic.
