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.
i think you mean Marc-Andre Bergeron. Patrice is on the Bruins.
Lyle Overbay - Brewers/Blue Jays 1B plays song pre-AB
Roger Clemens/David Wells - P one of them used to warm up to Evenflow
David Wright - 3B Mets had 3/4 songs on his AB warm-up voting list earlier this year
Pete Sampras - Was at Jones Beach 2
Dennis Rodman - Obvious
Jack McDowell - Former P for NYY/ChW/Ana obvious again
Dante Calabria - Former UNC point guard
Bill Simmons/Peter Gammons - Sports Writers
Theo Epstein - GM Red Sox see below + Boston 2 2006
Kevin Millar - 1B Orioles see below
Bronson Arroyo - P Reds was hired by Epstein because he could play black on guitar then befriended Millar doing the same thing
I'm blanking, but I know there are more
i can actually back the peter gammons one up - he wrote an article and in between each stanza there was a line from the song wishlist
Camden 7-5-2003, Camden 7-6-2003, Hershey 7-12-2003, Camden 5-27-2006, Camden 5-28-2006, Lollapalooza 8-5-2007, Camden 6-19-2008, Camden 6-20-2008, New York 6-24-2008, New York 6-25-2008, Mansfield 6-28-2008, Mansfield 6-30-2008
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.
Haha...no I really, really hated UNC back then (not more than Duke), and he was like the cult star of that team. They (like Dick Vitale, maybe an article in SI) used to talk about how the students loved him, and that he loved Pearl Jam which at that time was the thing to do. It's always stuck in my head.

Also heard an interview he did on a local NE radio station where they asked what he had in his CD player, and he said I have Pearl Jam in Japan...I almost spit out my soda when I heard that. Plus he does that concert for Jimmy Fund with Theo and Bronson every year where they play a handful of PJ covers.

I saw Gammons on the side of the stage of the VFC shows in Boston in 04 so he's definitely a big fan.
Matt and Jeff Hardy talk about Pearl Jam often in interviews. I've seen pictures of Joey Mercury/Matthews wearing Pearl Jam shirts. Shannon Moore also.
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."
This makes me a little bit happier that i picked him up a few weeks ago for my fantasy baseball league.

There is a small chance that Gabrielle Reece is a fan. I only say this because she's married to Laird Hamilton and we all know he's a fan, so perhaps by default, she is also a fan.
I know I've turned non-fans (perhaps indifferent-fans is a better term) into fans simply by being around them. The Pearl Jam "buzz" is infectious so there's actually a good chance she's caught on!
Don't know if you all remember, but there was a Nike commercial a few years ago with Agassi and Sampras contrasting how different they are. When they were asked about music, Sampras said Pearl Jam and Agassi said Santana. Also, during Pete's retirement announcement during the US Open, he did his final stroll with 'Alive' playing in the background.
Have you guys heard Sampras will 'unretire' to play some exhibition matches against Federer. There was also grumblings he might play at Wimbledon.
To add, I think Brian Giles is a PJ fan. When he was with the Tribe, he would be introduced to Pearl Jam songs.
In an interview Sean Casey said watching Eddie peform in the clubhouse was the second greatest thing to ever happen to him (his daughter's birth being the first)
Chris Chelios was sidestage at the Chicago show.
Pete Sampras also said he's played tennis w/ Stone before but he was a fan before he became friends with him.
yes really, i've read it somewhere before. doumit used to come to the plate to pj, not anymore though, i can't remember what he changed to. he was also asked what the one item would be he's take out of his house if it was on fire, and that baseball was the answer.

Almost have to include him.
Why does the number next to the "L" in the Brewers record keep getting bigger, whilst the number near the "W" stays the same?
I remember reading an article in SI and he said meeting the band was a spiritual experince.
This makes me a little bit happier that i picked him up a few weeks ago for my fantasy baseball league.
