Rush fans know Geddy Lee loves baseball–and we mean he loves baseball. Here’s some news about Geddy, baseball, and why I will always be a Rush fan:
Rush Bassist Donates 200 Baseballs to Negro Leagues Museum
“Close to 200 baseballs, all autographed by former Negro Leagues baseball players or backers, have been donated to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum by a somewhat surprising fan … Rush singer/bassist Geddy Lee. It’s among the largest single donations the museum has had, according to director of marketing Bob Kendrick. It also represents some history the museum didn’t previously have. ‘Some of these guys have been dead for some time, and we could not get these (signatures) before no matter what their significance was in the Negro Leagues,’ he said…Lee, whose band performs Saturday at Starlight, dropped by the museum last year unannounced, Kendrick said. ‘I wasn’t here, but another employee walked him through the museum, and apparently he fell in love with the place,’ Kendrick said. ‘He already had a huge respect for the Negro Leagues, as the collection shows, and this brought it home to him.'” – Kansas City Star, June 4, 2008.
More Rush News: (some) Rush fans have been very vocal about the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame ownership being very vocal about Rush never being allowed in the building. The three members of the band themselves don’t show any interest in being inducted. So, a particular fan made a sugestion: fuck the HoF and let’s show our favorite band how much we appreciate their ROCK…
And we succeeded. We got them on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
