What’s the music they keep playing? I think it’s from a movie soundtrack but I can’t quite think which one. For clarity – Fox is playing the music as they go to and from commercials. It’s not being played at the ballpark. ---

Unless it’s a part of the piece I don’t know, that’s not what I was referring to (though they may have played that, too – I’ve switched to SNL) ---

Until I opened this thread, I was thinking “Eye of the Tiger” from Rocky, but yeah, it’s “Gonna Fly Now” from the Rocky films (from the training montages in the film). Rocky was from philly, so i guess they thought that was appropriate. [Obligatory link to the Rocky Song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMGzxfumjzA) ---

Well, like I said, it wasn’t the Rocky song I was talking about. ---
