Ryan Doumit, RF for the Pittsburgh Pirates is a huge Pearl Jam fan:
Lachimia: "Just so we're not talking baseball all the time, I understand you're a huge Pearl Jam fan and you have a baseball autographed by the band's lead singer, Eddie Vedder."
Doumit: "Being from the Seattle area, I grew up listening to them. I've been to numerous concerts of theirs. I own numerous Pearl Jam T-shirts. So yeah, they're my band. I've liked them since I was about 9 years old."
Lachimia: "Is that about how old you were when the whole Seattle grunge thing was going on?"
Doumit: "Yeah, absolutely. Nirvana was also up there. Stone Temple Pilots. Modest Mouse. Those were the main bands I listened to."
Lachimia: "Is that still the kind of music you like?"
Doumit: "Absolutely. I'll never sway."
Lachimia: "Do you have some Pearl Jam in the car right now?"
Doumit: "Oh yeah. And my iPod is stacked with Nirvana and Pearl Jam."

Patrice Bergeron - New York Islanders. After being traded from Edmonton to the Island he was interviewed at the airport and had a limited edition toque (touque?) from the Canadian tour.
That's all I got.

You are not your job.
You are not how much money you have in the bank.
You are not the car you drive.
You are not the contents of your wallet.
You are not your fucking khakis.
There was an interview (Sports Illustrated, I believe) with Sampras back in his playing days. At the end it listed, some general info about him like favorite movie, favorite food, favorite band, etc. He listed Pearl Jam as his favorite band.
I forgot to mention Kyle Korver of the Philadelphia 76ers. I know he goes to see PJ whenever they come to Philly and I'm pretty sure I heard on MMR that he had dinner with Jeff before the Reading show in 04.
anyone mention Jason Bay from the pittsburgh pirates? Not 100% sure if he's a fan, But he better well be now after all the support PJ got him for the All-Star game!
Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?
former WWF wrestler Bret "Hitman" Hart (from Calgary, Alberta). He once wrote a review of "Vitalogy" for WWF's official magazine, where he also stated that he was invited by the band to watch a show from the side of the stage.
I forgot to mention Kyle Korver of the Philadelphia 76ers. I know he goes to see PJ whenever they come to Philly and I'm pretty sure I heard on MMR that he had dinner with Jeff before the Reading show in 04.
Kyle Korver definitely. Know he played hoops with Jeff at Nova back during the 2006 tour as well - set up by Matt Cord. Picture of that on WMMR's website.
AJ Feeley and Heather Mitts. Saw them at the 2003 shows in Camden. Feeley is the Eagles backup Quarterback and Heather Mitts is on the USA Women's soccer team (and smoking hot).
Marty Murray who used to play for the Flyers - no clue who he is with now. But on the Flyers calandar one year he said Ed was person he most wanted to have dinner with.
Lyle Overbay - Brewers/Blue Jays 1B plays song pre-AB
Roger Clemens/David Wells - P one of them used to warm up to Evenflow

I'm blanking, but I know there are more
Dante Calabria? What are you a friend of his or something? I haven't heard that name in so long. Have to be a hardcore college hoops fan to remeber that dude.
Back in 2003, Ed threw out the first pitch for a Reds/Cubs game. After the game he went into the clubhouse and did an acoustic song or two.
A story in the paper here later said that Sean Casey actually roped off the area where Ed had played with caution tape and wouldn't let anyone even think about sitting in 'his' chair, or disturbing the area in any way. Kept it that way for the rest of the season, sort of like a shrine.
and yeah, Bronson Arroyo is a huge Pearl Jam fan as well. He has stated in several articles he tries to emmulate Ed when he performs, since he is the budding rock star, after all.
Kyle Korver definitely. Know he played hoops with Jeff at Nova back during the 2006 tour as well - set up by Matt Cord. Picture of that on WMMR's website.
You just reminded me of someone - Todd MacCullough. He used to be a center for the 76ers and Nets and had to retire a couple years ago due to injuries and is the 76ers announcer now. He went to University of Washington and would go to the PJ shows with Korver and Matt Cord.

Damn I must be slipping - I haven't noticed that song for Dobbs yet - I'll have to check it out the next time I go.
that's awesome - 28 shows - cool stuff.
