Ok, the season's almost over.

Anyone figure out what the music is in this 100% baseball commercial? I love it. I must have it.

I agreed with her.

Anyway, I searched for the music the next two days without any success. I finally broke down and emailed the A's. I've emailed various departments of the Oakland A's on a few occasions, and let's just say I'm still waiting for a response.

Imagine my shock when an email from the A's Senior Director of Stadium Entertainment appeared in my Inbox on September 23rd!

Gist of the email:

...The music was made for that commercial by a company in LA that specifically makes commercial music. The guy gave me the name of the ad agency in charge of the A’s marketing because he could’t think of the name of the LA company.

I’m thinking, the music we wear, that’s all of the song. But I still need to contact at least two more people to see if this music is somewhere I can download it. If not, I’m thinking about going the Firefox route to save the commercial.

So on Wednesday, September 24, I contacted the Ad agency that made the commercial.

First, let me say that the lady I emailed got back to me within five minutes to let me know she could help me, she just needed to dig up the answer. I was blown away by her response time and willingness to help. :) She'll probably never read this, but I'd like to publicly thank her for being awesome. She was able to point me in the right direction.

This morning, I contacted the music vendor who created the sound. They also rocked my socks off. I think it took ten minutes for the Producer to respond back to me.

Good news: I have an answer. I can sleep now.

Bad news: This wasn't the answer I was looking for. The piece in the "Anthem" commercial doesn't have a name, and there isn't a place to purchase/download it.

Crap.

But there you have it.

Anyway, it was composed by Jimmy Haun. That Jimmy Haun? I didn't ask.
