    Jeremy plays when Lyle Overbay of the Toronto Blue Jays comes to bat


    Forget baseball player, PJ reminds me of the Atlanta Braves. From 1991 until now, they've been one of the best teams in the league.

    The Braves fall short though cause they've only won 1 championship.

    PJ would win every year of course...

    First name that came to mind was Greg Maddux. Look at the paralles here. First great season was 1992, won first of 4 CY Young awards. PJ burst onto the music scene that same year.

    Turned down a monster deal with the Yankees to sign a lesser deal with the Braves in the winter of 92. PJ took less money a number of times over the years. Refusing to make videos for Vs. and Vitalogy and boycotting Ticketmaster showed they were not about the money.

    Always did things without much media hype, just did his job and went home. Sounds a lot like PJ to me.

    Maddux started in Chicago just like Eddie, he now plays in San Diego, Eddie's other home after he moved from Chicago.

    At times was overshadowed by lesser players who as we now know weren't legit, players who took steroids. Clemens, Bonds, McGwire etc. Meanwhile here's Maddux in 2008 still getting it done (3.68 ERA as of 5/31) PJ was also overshadowed by less talented bands over the course of their career. Only to see those bands (Creed, Limp Biscuit etc) fall apart and become jokes while PJ stayed strong.

    Maddux is without a doubt the baseball parrallel of PJ.

    Dude...right on! I got the chills reading that deadly accurate post.

    it'd have to be someone who fought the power for what was right and still kicked ass. So it could only be one man

    Maddux was a great choice....

    and the Stankees still suck....

    and the Sox are still the champions....

    and the Stankees have a guy named JOBA...

    and oh yeah, the sox won again tonite.

    Babe Ruth would have been a good choice too. He loved to drink and party. He was by far, the greatest live show during his time. And he started a "curse", just as we lifted the Alive curse for eddie!!!

    no one has said good ol' Cal Ripken Jr. yet.

    Cal Jr. wasn't flashy, he liked to get dirty and he got the job done. Reliable and consistent. Day in, day out and the longevity and durability of this class act were unquestionable. Kinda like our boys!

    Both are/were ambassadors for their respective craft!

    Thank you. GO O's

    And, sorry yankee fans, but every player on yor team reminds me of Nickelback... :D
