I've already offered myself as a Professional Athlete Theme Song Consultant---a job that is totally imaginary.
A more realistic music-meets-baseball job would be "that guy at WEEI."
I don't know who does this job---it could very likely be an intern---but if you listen to the Red Sox on WEEI, they transition back from commercials to the announcers with a short music bumper.
I always wanted to be pals with whoever was doing the job around that magical 2004, World Series season, because he/she and I had the same taste.
There were lots of familiar and unfamiliar alterna-hits and special nuggets.
And when they were using this Ryan Adams semi-obscurity, I was super-impressed. Only a real music-head would know this tune, as it's from the bonus "Side Four" ep from Adams' "Gold" album.
I don't know if I could top this nugget as we tossed to Joe Castiglione, but I'd love to try . . .
Hear the song on Youtube.
