not sure if he counts but John Buccigross an ESPN anchor and huge hockey fanatic is a giant PJ fan has used many songs and lyrics in his columns. And I live in Pittsburgh and have seen Ryan Doumit out in town many a nights he is def a huge PJ fan.
u dont think Even Flow is just a really popular song that maybe Chelios knew the words to?
lol
Chelios and Eddie are good friends. Chelios told a story on ESPN.com about meeting Eddie when he played in Chicago. He was at a nightclub and said "hey, don't I know you?" and Eddie was like "Maybe, I'm lead singer for Pearl Jam". Chelios knew Pearl Jam's songs, but that's not how he knew him. Later that night, Chelios said "Hey, you worked at a gas station in San Diego, right?" Eddie and Chelios worked at gas stations that were across the road from each other. Both had a similar childhood, splitting time between Chicago and San Diego. Chelios brought Eddie to his first NHL game in Vancouver, although Eddie isn't a fan or anything.
Rob Conway, pro wrestler, lists Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam as his favorite bands.
Edge is also a fan.
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Jose Theodore is a fan. I remember him playing "Corduroy" on the TV show "Be a Player" years ago, which the host, former NHL'er Brett Lindros instantly recognized.
Doug Gilmour is a HUGE fan. Eddie autographed a guitar for him.
Todd Heap tight end for the baltimore Ravens football team gave them a shout out in an interview with the balt sun last year... i love to listen to my favorite band Pearl Jam!

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.
Gammons also released a compilation CD in '03 or '04 and it featured Bu$hleaguer in the tracklist
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

You're correct. Pat Rafter is/was a huge fan! He was defending his title at the U.S. Open and was asked by the press if he was concerned about the pressure. He said something like..."not really, if I happen to lose early it'll be fine because then I'll get to join Pearl Jam on their tour." Btw, he went on to win the tournament. Also, I remember seeing Stone in the locker room and in the stands with Ben Harper.
I was fortunate enough to get invited to Rafter's after-party. It was awesome! The restaurant/bar blasted Pearl Jam for most of the night. There were quite a few Aussies at the party and needless to say they were going nuts to the music .
Ben Tune who played for the wallabies said that he used to listen to pearl jam before a game. And Cooper Cronk who plays for Melbourne storm said he likes Pj. I giess that is why people say they want to "bonk the cronk"

Former Milwaukee Brewer backup catcher Damian Miller. Quoted last yr that he is a fan of PJ. And when he would come up to bat they would play WWS over the P.A. system at Miller Park.
not sure if anyone has said it but Sean Casey - backup first baseman for the Red Sox who was with Detroit last year and with Cincinatti in past seasons comes up to the plate with Even Flow playing. I think that makes him a fan haha
Bentley Little, horror novelist. In one of his books (The Burning) He writes..." When I saw that I felt like I was in the presence of greatness, the way I felt the first time I saw Pearl Jam live." Not a direct quote but close enough for government work.

Yup, I remember it was at the Nassau Colliseum show...some people saw him and started booing...
At the time I didn't know who he was until I asked my friend.

He also wore a 10 Club hat in the Sox 2004 WS show done by ESPN.
He said that he respects Eddie for lying low and avoiding the spot light that so many rock stars chase.
I know many people have said Pete Sampras, he also made a Nike commercial with Andre and Pete stated he was a huge PJ fan.
