The Baseball Project aims for a Hit
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Like music, baseball has the ability to rouse inspire depths of passion. "The Baseball Project" is the brainchild of Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate) and Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, Minus 5, and R.E.M.'s tour band) who drafted in R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck and drummer Linda Pitmon to perform their songs about iconic figures from baseball history, from Ted Williams and Mark McGwire to Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige. McCaughey shares some of it with us today.

Could Scott write a lamentation for my beloved but (longtime) downtrodden Pittsburgh Pirates?
