Watch: Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder with outstanding trick shot for ALS Research
Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder connected with a baseball while wakeboarding in a Boston Red Sox helmet for ALS Research.
Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder stepped up to the plate — sort of — in a Boston Red Sox helmet no less as part of the #TrickShot4Snowy challenge in the fight against ALS.
Vedder was challenged by his friend, current Cubs, and former Red Sox boss Theo Epstein. The #TrickShot4Snowy challenge was started to help out Calgary Flames Assistant GM Chris Snow who is battling ALS.
As part of the challenge, people are asked to complete a trick shot of some athleticism and post it with the #TrickShot4Snowy hashtag, helping to bring attention to ALS, then make a donation to directly fund ALS Research.
For his trick shot, Vedder was wakeboarding — towed behind a boat on a surfboard — with a bat in hands and delivered a sweet swing and connection..You can watch his trick shot below.

In an interview with Bill Simmons, Vedder shared the anecdote, which took place when the Bulls were in his hometown to play the Seattle Supersonics. While he and Rodman were hanging out at the team’s hotel, Rodman’s security guard presented three plane tickets, with the basketball player explaining Jane’s Addiction were playing in Vegas that night. “And I’m like, ‘Jesus Christ, it’s like fucking six o’clock,’” Vedder said. “He’s like, ‘We’ll get there by nine, they don’t go on until 9:30.’”

The trio went to the airport, where Vedder said: “People [were] creating a running trail behind [Rodman], like this river”. They made it to the gig in time and were sitting side of the stage when the band came on. According to the musician, Rodman turned to him and said: “This is relaxing, right?” “That’s how on rocket jet fuel he was, that that was relaxing,” Vedder said, adding they both flew back to Seattle that night.
