The Nationals debuted Kyle Finnegan’s new entrance on May 25. Fans have had more opportunities to see the light show during the current homestand.
In early May, a fan on a popular Washington Nationals message board posited that the squad’s most glaring weakness wasn’t its below average lineup or limited bench but its lack of a proper entrance for its all-star-worthy closer.. “Yet when he enters the game, you could easily mistake it for a middle reliever entering a blowout for mop-up duty.”
“We’ve seen everything that’s been done across the league, and we didn’t want to copy anything,” Emilee Harris, the Nationals’ director of game production and operations, said in a phone interview. “We wanted to make it his own thing.
Harris, who is in her 11th season with the Nationals, began developing Finnegan’s entrance by pulling the audio from his walkout song — Silverchair’s “Tomorrow” — into software that syncs music with the ballpark’s lights.“It took a couple of days to think about what I wanted to do creatively and how we could make it really cool for Kyle and the fans,” Harris said. “Once I got the light sequence down, I was able to hand that off to our animator and motion graphics designer.
