Why Zach Top Skipped His Encore
Zach Top might love classic country, but his heart belongs to the Seattle Mariners.
Zach is from Washington state, and he even got to fulfill a childhood dream and throw out the first pitch at a Mariners game earlier this year.
As it turns out, the feeling is mutual.
Mariners’ slugger Cal Raleigh, better known as Big Dumper, uses Zach’s song “Bad Luck” as his walk-up music and calls him “the best in country music.”
But Zach’s fandom is even stronger than you can imagine.
During a recent interview, he confessed that he recently skipped an encore in Louisville so he could catch the end of a Mariners game.
“I’m not proud to admit this . . . but we had a show the other night, and the crowd wanted an encore. I didn’t give them one because I was already sprinting back to my green room to watch the rest of the game.”
It even went a step further.
“I had my monitor engineer feeding me score updates in my ears throughout the show.”
Now that is a diehard fan.
