Pic of The Day: Eddie Vedder, Jack White & Paul Simon Hit The Ballpark

August 28, 2014

On his extensive run of visits to MLB stadiums this year, Jack White has found a fellow baseball lover in Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, and the duo crossed paths in Seattle on Wednesday (August 27) at a game between MLB wild card hopefuls the Seattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers.

White was in town for a pair of shows at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre, which Vedder watched from side stage alongside bandmate Mike McCready. In the ballpark shot, Detroit native White can be seen rocking a Mariners shirt while Seattle torchbearer Vedder wears a Detroit Tigers jersey, an apparent switch-off between the two.

The third man in the pic? That’s not your pasty professor enjoying some final rays of sun before school starts – that’s Paul Simon, for you whippersnappers. Look him up and learn something before I yell at you to get off my lawn.
