Josh Reddick made his season debut for the Diamondbacks on the road Thursday against the Dodgers, and Los Angeles' organist, Dieter Ruehle, made sure it was one that Reddick wouldn't soon forget.
When Reddick stepped up to bat for the first time, Ruehle broke out an early-'90s classic: "The Sign" by Swedish group Ace of Base.
Of course, that was no accident. Ruehle was poking fun at Reddick for his four-year tenure as a member of the Astros, whose notorious sign-stealing scandal has marred their World Series victory over the Dodgers in 2017.

The song drew a great reaction from the Dodgers' broadcast that you can see and hear below.

Orel Hershiser asking, "Dieter, do you have any garbage can songs?" is the cherry on top of a spectacularly funny moment for the Dodgers' in-game entertainment. Hats off to Ruehle for his song choice.
That said, Reddick didn't appear to be seeing the sign in his first MLB game of the season. The 13-year veteran went 0-for-4 in his Arizona debut and struck out twice.
