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?0

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.Drunken Butterfly0

Damian Miller the Brewers backup catcher is a big PJ fan. They play WWS when he comes up to bat at Miller Park.0

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.0 -

At least he did the two games I saw him bat in person this year.
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.0 -

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.0 -

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.Nice shirt.0 -

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.- Busted down the pretext

ryan198 wrote: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.- Busted down the pretext
