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.

Vedder then challenged his Pearl Jam bandmate Jeff Ament, and retired NHL superstar Chris Chelios.
