As a professional baseball player, you get a lot of luxuries. You get to stay in five-star hotels, your meals are paid for (at least during the season) and you make oodles of money. Oh, and you also get to choose your favorite song(s) as your walk-up music.
Most baseball players really embrace the opportunity and giving the stadium music coordinator their list of favorite music is among their first orders of business when they arrive at the ballpark. Joc Peterson of the Los Angeles Dodgers is no different and likely is enjoying the opportunity to hear his favorite song blasted over the Dodgers Stadium speakers.
Only problem? During a recent game, it wasn’t Peterson’s favorite tunes that were blaring out – it was Hansen and One Direction.
Joc Peterson was pranked.

Apparently the choice in tunes wasn’t too troubling for Joc Peterson though as just a few innings later, the rookie phenom hit his first career grand slam en route to a Dodgers victory.
No word if it was his teammates like Clayton Kershaw or Adrian Gonzalez who were in on the fun.
I guess it’s better than getting shaving cream in your eyes, right?
