Geddy Lee ESPN side project: glam/prog rock band Iron Diamond

Tue, Mar 13, 2007@9:50AM | comments removed/disabled

The ESPN commercial featuring Geddy Lee that I first mentioned a couple weeks back has been airing regularly and I pointed you to the YouTube link over the weekend. With all the hullabaloo of the last couple days I didn't get a chance to post many details about the commercial - which is for fantasy baseball on ESPN. It features the ESPN crew including John Kruk and Peter Gammons along with several special guests including Geddy Lee performing as the glam/progressive rock band Iron Diamond. The song played is called Guide Me Master. The band even has a MySpace page which has a lot of great photos and the commercial posted. For those of you who don't have access to MySpace I've posted a few of the pics. The band members are as follows:

John Kruk: lead vocals, ESPN Baseball Tonight Cohost
Peter Gammons: vocals, guitar, ESPN Baseball Tonight Cohost, writer
Bronson Arroyo: vocals, guitar, 2006 MLB All-Star Pitcher
Geddy Lee: vocals, bass, Rush frontman, fantasy baseball genius
Gary Sheffield: drums, MLB slugger with 455 career HR's and counting
Joe Borowski: keytar, closer, 2006 Comeback Player of the Year Finalist
Jennie Finch: vocals, ESPN Fantasy Analyst, Olympic Gold Medalist
Matthew Berry: vocals, Senior Director of Fantasy for ESPN.com
Eric Karabell: vocals, ESPN Fantasy Analyst, ESPN Radio Host
Buster Olney: vocals, ESPN the Magazine Senior Writer, NY Times'

There's also a great interview with Geddy where he talks fantasy baseball up at ESPN.com here. Thanks to reader Xanagirl for pointing me to the MySpace page.
