On [this](http://youtube.com/watch?v=kxOJwfstlgQ&search=don%20lafontaine) video, what’s the name of the music that starts at the 50 second mark? They used that music on the previews for “Angels in the Outfield” when I was a kid, but it wasn’t used in the movie, and I’ve since heard it fairly frequently, but never been able to positively ID it. Anyone?

Thank you! Very helpful. The two possibilities according to that site were “Rudy” or “The Natural.” The clips on [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) weren’t too helpful, so I took a chance and requested the “Rudy” soundtrack from my library, and just got it in today – bingo! I’ve been wanting to know what that track was for years now. Thanks again!!

I couldn’t identify the music, but damn that video was funny.
