Eddie Vedder Signed a Fan's Ball From a Wrigleyville Bar... Across the Street
Eddie Vedder just made a Cubs' fan's day in what could be the coolest baseball signing ever.
Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribunetweeted photos of a fan who got the Pearl Jam's singer's signature by throwing, yes throwing, a ball from Wrigley Field to the bar Murphy's Bleachers.
Vedder signed the ball and then threw it back, proving he's got an arm in case his Cubbies ever need him. He also threw guitar picks to lucky fans in the bleachers.
Vedder is one of the Cubs' most famous fans, singing "Take me out to the Ballgame" at last year's World Series and partying with the team in the clubhouse following the win.
