Geddy Lee ESPN commercial extended version

Tue, May 8, 2007@11:06AM | comments removed/disabled

Back in March a commercial surfaced on ESPN that featured Geddy Lee along with several baseball players and ESPN personalities plugging fantasy baseball. It was shot in the style of a music video spoofing a rock opera and featuring a fictional band called Iron Diamond. You can see the original 30-second commercial here. Reader SF in Prague noticed that there is now an extended 1:30 version of the commercial up on YouTube which you can check outhere. It includes the original commercial along with a bunch of behind-the-scenes footage. In the weeks following the commercial Geddy was all over ESPN and ESPN.com giving interviews where he discussed the commercial, fantasy baseball and baseball in general. I'd posted most of these interviews but missed one (thanks to Power Windows for the tip). On April 12th, Geddy appeared on ESPN's Cold Pizza. You can watch the video here.
