Before softball games I usually listen to some sort of metal, anything that is loud and fast, for about 20-30 minutes. Usually gets a beat in my head and it makes the long delay between plays fly by.
I have found that this doesn't work for me in basketball. My mind gets going too fast. I have gone to slow blues songs for the basketball games, Ten Long Years, Three o'Clock Blues, etc. Slows the game way down for me.

Once when the Yankee's Lou Pinella was batting he questioned a Palermo strike call. Pinella demanded, "Where was that pitch at?" Palermo told him that a man wearing Yankee pinstripes in front of 30,000 people should not end a sentence with a preposition. So Pinella, no dummy, said, "OK, where was that pitch at, a**hole?"
