The '''Macon Music''' were a short-lived [independent baseball](/source/independent_baseball) team, based in [Macon, Georgia](/source/Macon%2C_Georgia). The club played its home games at [Luther Williams Field](/source/Luther_Williams_Field), under manager [Phil Plantier](/source/Phil_Plantier).  A member of the [South Coast League](/source/South_Coast_League), Macon won the league's second half title, however they were defeated in the title series by the [South Georgia Peanuts](/source/South_Georgia_Peanuts), 2 games to 1.

On March 31, 2008, the South Coast League office issued an announcement that it was suspending operations as of April 1, citing an inability to close on a large amount of debt. While the statement claimed that it planned to resume operations in 2009, however the league never returned. The Music dissolved with the league, as a result.

==Eliot Spitzer night==
The Music planned, until the league formally ceased operations, to play in 2008. The team even made national headlines earlier that month when its website posted an [Eliot Spitzer](/source/Eliot_Spitzer) night promotion, to poke fun at the former [New York](/source/New_York_(state)) [governor's](/source/Governor_of_New_York) [prostitution scandal](/source/Eliot_Spitzer_prostitution_scandal). Among the planned highlights on Eliot Spitzer Night: Client #9 (or fan #9) will receive a free Music prize pack," the team said on its website. "Any fan with the name Eliot, Spitzer, or 'Kristen' along with any fan from New York will receive $1 off admission." The name Kristen was how the call girl is identified in investigative documents. ATMs would be available for cash withdrawals not to exceed $5,000 per hour. The team also announced it would give away a New York vacation, including a one-night stay at the [Mayflower Hotel](/source/Mayflower_Hotel), although the hotel linked to the Spitzer scandal is actually in [Washington, D.C.](/source/Washington%2C_D.C.) The Music also claimed it formally invited Spitzer to come on down and throw out the first pitch.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/local-ga-baseball-team-hosts-eliot-spitzer-night-invites-spitzer-to-throw-1st-pitch/|title=Local Ga.
