Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo explored the many parallels between sports and music on the latest episode of Lindsay Czarniak s The Artist and The Athlete podcast.
Towards the end of their conversation, Czarniak asked Vedder a lifelong Cubs fan if his pre-show routine is anywhere as superstitious as that of a typical baseball player.
While Vedder acknowledged that there is a little bit of OCD at play backstage before a Pearl Jam concert, no routine is quite like that of the band s longtime tour manager, Mark Smith. The singer noted that Smith s offbeat tradition took on a more profound meaning to him, following a crucial moment in the Cubs Game 7 victory in the 2016 World Series.
