Description
00:00 Jet Set (Opening song to TWINB)
02:09 Gathering Crowds (End to This Week In Baseball)
The opening theme music to TWIB is "Jet Set", composed by Mike Vickers, a former member of the original Manfred Mann band. "Jet Set" was first used as the theme for the original 1974–75 version of the game show Jackpot. When Fox brought TWIB back, a slightly revamped version of "Jet Set" was written.
The closing theme to the show is "Gathering Crowds", composed by John Scott.[16] It is typically played over a montage of baseball's greatest moments, building to a crescendo with a punctuated three-note chord as the MLB logo slides into view. The piece has also been utilized to similar effect for montages and credits at the end of, for example, local TV newscasts.
