Sign in to disble this ad
Who else has seen it??? Geddy at the end of the ESPN commercial for "ESPN Fantasy Baseball League" I thought the commercial was pretty funny to start with John Kruk in Leather and Peter Gammons sportin the Johnny Winter look, guitar and all, then to see Geddy at the end doing the vocals was just too cool.
Seems fitting, as Geddy is such a Baseball addict and participant in Fantasy Baseball leagues. |

I can't say that his voice isn't blown though.  I actually like his vocals on the early stuff, but all those high notes took a toll on his voice.
