    why? Better Man is about domestic violence, hardly seems appropriate

    I coach at the school Jason played at in High School; both he and his father (also played in MLB) do a lot for kids in our area. He is a class act; can't wait to ask him about his song selection.

    just proves my point that most non-Pearl Jam fans have no clue what the song is about

    He used to play for the Tigers! Not very well if my memory serves me right! :lol:

    Last exit?

    How fitting he picks Whipping. Yes, he used to play (horribly) for the Tigers. Career highlight of walking three straight batters on 12 STRAIGHT pitches in a 2006 playoff game. He eventually was traded and upon his return to Comerica Park one game, may have gotten the loudest chorus of boos I have ever heard. Yes, he is every Tiger fan's whipping boy!
