LOVE BOAT CAPTAIN.

I figured I would get these photos out of the way since most people are only going to want to look at these anyway. Ed Vedder at batting practice at Wrigley on 8/3/07, talking to Sandy Alomar, Scott Schoeneweis, throwing out the first pitch, and walking back to the dugout with Kerry Wood, and hanging out with Rickey Henderson. (See the comments for the update about the last one.). ~~If anyone can tell me how Vedder and Schoeneweis are such good buddies, I will owe you a beer.~~

NY Post says:
Eddie Vedder, lead singer for Pearl Jam, spent time Friday with Mets first-base coach Rickey Henderson before the Cubs game in Chicago. “I love Rickey’s enthusiasm,” said Vedder, who, with the band playing in town, called the Mets to ask for a meeting with baseball’s all-time top base stealer. “I really admired the way he played the game. He had a tremendous impact on the sport. We talked a lot about the past.” Reliever Scott Schoeneweis, a Pearl Jam fan, attended its concert Thursday night.

No way - you mean Bloeneweis was at the same concert we were??? I wonder how he felt about the Jose-Jose-Jose chant…and I wonder if when he told Jose, Jose’s response was “Yes.”

Good stuff.

Great shots! Vedder and Show are both avid surfers, I don’t know if that was a connection they shared.
