- 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.
When literally nothing else mattered in life but baseball.
I was a kid in 80s w this. You’re right nothing else mattered!
@@ronakpatel7778 When there was a rain delay in a Braves game on TBS, they always went with TWIB to fill in the time.
Yes I agree… Saturday was my favorite baseball day . I put my Yankee Jersey on and my cap. Oh the goosebumps i feel when I hear this… Back then baseball ruled… Long gone are those precious days we lived in our childhood…..
Perfectly stated! Baseball was life!
Still doesn't!!
These two musical themes take me back to the early 80's watching TWIB every Saturday with Mel Allen and then tuning into NBC and the Game of the Week. It made my childhood special and made me a life-long fan of baseball. Sure miss those days....great memories.
100%!! It was my very favorite show!! I'd watch this religiously every Saturday and it would be followed by a Yankee game here in NY!
Well said! 👏
My expenses were exactly this, and that show deepened my love for the game!
Gathering Crowds was also used as the ABC News theme, after Roone Arlidge of ABC Sports fame, took over the network's news division. Until they started World News Tonight.
I rarely missed an episode. I knew when that opening theme came on, I was going to be in a treat to see some great plays, interviews, and especially a few blunders.
Perfect music for the show. Just like NFL films music. Transports me back to those days as a kid.
Good bye everybody and see you next week in This Week in Baseball !
I'll always remember looking forward to the clip of Ozzie Smith doing a backflip. When baseball was pure fun.😊
That was "THEE" highlight of the show
That music takes me back to my childhood. When baseball was king.
Loved the 2nd theme where they showed Dave Parker making that perfect throw home from right field!
This music always motivated me to grab a glove and go make some great plays!!
Great songs. Great show! Loved that damn show. And Mel Allen was awesome. First song is great and fun. Second song...beautiful and classic, hopeful.
been hopelessly lost in a loop of this for about a week ... and it just keeps getting better and better
The opening theme is "Jet Set" by Mike Vickers and the closing theme is "Gathering Crowds" by John Scott.
... Gathering Crowds is a mood !

Thank you for this info. Two very talented gents.
Heavenly music to me.
"This Week In Baseball" was originally known as "This Is Baseball" when it premiered in 1974, and was narrated by John Facenda, the voice of NFL
Films.
Good knowledge
@@rapalbumdepot7648 Thank you. "This Is Baseball" featured highlights
of baseball's weekly games,plus historical moments. In 1977, Facenda handed the narrator's mike to veteran broadcaster Mel Allen, and the program was retitled "This Week In Baseball". How about that?
Interesting. Never knew that. Facenda was the voice of the NFL to me.
Nice to know!
My Saturday Mornings were so fun because I got up and watched cartoons then it was This Week In Baseball. Then after that it was the NBC Game Of The Week.
Boy I had a simple childhood.
And don't forget about "The Baseball Bunch" which was on for about five years, too!
The second theme song especially has the feel of Olympian greatness. It elevates sport to an artform and evokes the Ancient Greek aspiration for perfection. Marvelous.
Well said!
As a little boy, I loved this music. As an aging man, I am getting misty-eyed listening.
Fabulous title for the ending theme....The Gathering Crowd
Hello everyone, This is Mel Allen and welcome to this Week in Baseball !
Why do I think 🤔💬 it was "' hello there everybody, this is Mel Allen " Lol
Gathering Clouds is great American music, straight up classic.
I wish I could still play baseball.
This theme song was also used for the game show Jackpot.
That’s great knowledge
That was used for the original NBC version of the show.
Gathering Crowds was also used in the Early 70's by ABC Television as their theme song for "The ABC Evening News" which was done live from New York with Harry Reasoner and Howard K. Smith.
How about that! Miss you Mel.
Even if he was a Yankees guy! -Signed, A Red Sox Fan
Thanks for the upload. I’ve been looking for this theme for awhile.
What’s the name of it ? Is it on Apple Music to stream.
I swear I can hear Mel Allen's voice.
Brings you back...
Sure ! Who couldn't ?! LoL ❤
When I hear that second song, I can picture Ozzie Smith doing flips cross the field.
I'm not cryin your cryin
Would wait all week to see this show hoping I'd see a tigers play.
S/O to Jack Fritz from Philadelphia WIP for sending me here. The top 5 at 5.
When baseball really was America's Pastime. ⚾🧢
Where's the honor other than the _Field of Dreams_ game and certain World Series and All-Star moments? ❤

Can someone explain why the theme was truncated at the end of the TV show "This Week In Baseball"? The version here seems to be the original, not played on TV, which ends as TA-DA. DO-DO-DO
Hello everybody this is Mel Allen
2:12 ✌️🇵🇦
How about that!
😭…
Oooh..the sound tracks of my childhood!.."how about that!⚾️
