Meet Tatiana Tate, trumpeter who electrified Dodger Stadium crowd during Edwin Diaz's entrance
When Dodgers star Edwin Diaz came in for his first save opportunity of the season, his walk out to the mound was magnified by trumpet player Tatiana Tate.
One of the biggest highlights of the Dodgers' season so far happened between innings. When star closer Edwin Diaz came in to make his regular season debut, his walk out to the mound was magnified by Tatiana Tate. The trumpet extraordinaire blared a live version of Diaz's iconic entrance song, "Narco.
" The energy from the Friday night crowd at Dodger Stadium was electric. "I just grew up going to Dodgers games and just having a love," Tate told ABC7. "And when we signed Diaz last year, I said, 'Oh, it's going to be on and poppin'.
'" Days later, the talented musician is still blown away by that moment, describing it as something she'll "never forget for the rest of my life. " "It's just really cool to say, 'Hey, I play for the Dodgers. ' Like what?
As a Cali girl, it's really a blessing," Tate said. Tate doesn't want to toot her own horn but says the Dodgers organization approached her with the opportunity. "It was the first time they had ever did something like that, and it was also a secret," she said.
