It started as an off-the-cuff Tweet to the Colorado Rockies: 鈥淗ow many retweets for you to buy an organ and let me be the Coors Field organist next season?鈥�

Denver music producer -- and Rockies fan -- Collin Ingram didn鈥檛 really expect an answer from the Major League Baseball club, but he got one.

鈥�5,280,000.鈥�

Now with more than 129,000 retweets in less than a week, Ingram may be on his way to the ballpark -- whether he likes it or not.

鈥淚 had no expectations of that,鈥� Ingram said. 鈥淚n fact, I kind of thought to myself, 鈥楾hat was a really stupid thing to post,鈥� and sort of forgot about it. And then looked at my phone and it already had, like, 1,000 (retweets).鈥�

He said it鈥檚 especially funny since he doesn鈥檛 actually play the organ.

鈥淚鈥檝e played some really simple organ parts on a couple records that I鈥檝e worked on, but I鈥檓 definitely not qualified to be a Major League organist,鈥� Ingram said.

But he thinks maybe it speaks to a larger issue: .

Only half of the Major League ballparks still feature live organ music at games. . The instrument still sits in the park鈥檚 historical archives.

Ingram said he鈥檚 a fan of those classic ballpark elements and he thinks the success of his tweet might be a sign he鈥檚 not the only one.

鈥淚 was really surprised to see that there were more than 100,000 people out there who thought it was worthwhile to retweet it, but maybe that鈥檚 just 100,000 people who really want to see an organ at Coors Field,鈥� he said.

Ingram doesn鈥檛 think he鈥檒l actually get to the 5,280,000 goal -- the current world retweet record is .

鈥淏ut on the off chance that it did,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 think I would probably ask for maybe one night of being a Major League organist -- like a cold night in April when the stadium is about half empty. And then after that we could maybe convince them to hire a real professional.鈥�

The Rockies don鈥檛 think it will get to 5 million either. However, Ingram鈥檚 is the most viral retweet campaign the organization has ever had, said Julian Valentin, the Rockies鈥� director of digital media and publications.

These types of requests -- 鈥淗ow many retweets for a jersey?鈥� or 鈥淗ow many retweets for free tickets?鈥� -- are common, Valentin said.

鈥淎nd usually we just ignore them to be honest with you, just because we see them all the time,鈥� he said. 鈥淏ut there was something about that one that we decided to (answer) and see where it took us.鈥�

But while they can鈥檛 offer Ingram a job as an organist at this time, Valentin said the Rockies are going to host Ingram at an upcoming game along with a sneak peek at batting practice and a tour of the ballpark.
