    Jim Edmonds used to come up to plate with "Alive" playing. This is circa 2000.

    Matt Bradley from the Washington capitals

    He is actually a Ten club member, I've talked to him about Pearl Jam before and right away he mentioned how they're the best band in the world. Apparently he sits about 10-20 rows back every show, so he's been a fan for a long time.

    Sometimes they play a players ipod playlist in between periods and when they did his it was all PJ and some of it were the rarer not radio songs.

    Also PJ is listed as his favorite band on his profile page on the capitals website in the kids area

    Do you know of any?

    And how do you know they are a fan?

    Workin' on a list and I know I've missed someone. :( Thanks!

    Love, :)

    Is this for the next issue of Tiger Beat?

    Seriously, though am I the only one who finds this completely ridiculous? Is this about finding validation from liking something that some jock likes too? Or is it a matter of identifying fans that are more important than "ordinary fans"? What about a list of fans that are doctors, or nurses, or police(wo)men, or teachers, or anyone else who makes an actual difference?

    Or hell, I rather have a feature on fans who have followed the band 15+ years and have seen hundreds of shows, because I find that behaviour a lot more interesting than someone who has "Jeremy" play whenever he comes to bat.

    pete sampras? how do you know?

    It's common knowledge. He's a huge fan of Pearl Jam, in fact it was he who got me interested in them, since I was a fan of his to begin with. He used to listen to bootlegs through his walkman before he played matches, I've got photos of him listening to PJ bootlegs. He also wore a PJ cap during an interview I saw of him.

    Ted Johnson and Teddy Bruschi from The patriots are big fans. I sat directly next to them at Great woods 98. It was awesome, we were Hi fiving each other when good songs came on. They signed my ticket stub, but I lost it cause I suck haha

    I also heard ted Johnson tell a story on the radio how they drove to the Augusta ME show and had to drive back for practice the next game.

    he's not an athlete but one of most beloved sportscasters - Ron MacLean

    There were a bunch of senators at the ottawa show


    Ya Tie Domi is embarrising.

    BUT I from what I understand Bryan McCabe is also a big Pearl Jam fan.

    I worked the 2000 PJ show in Toronto and Sergei Berezin was in my section.


    Also back to Wrestling: Raven is a fan. He used to come out to Even Flow back in the day.

    Günther Ottario.
    Beavis : Is this Pearl Jam?
    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.
