28 Musicians Predict the 2020 Baseball Season
Against all odds and the advice of many virologists, the 2020 MLB season is finally underway. Whether that’s a good idea in the midst of a pandemic is beside the point because it’s happening. Baseball is back, albeit in a much stranger fashion than anyone could have imagined when spring training began in February (which may as well have been 1923). With a 60-game season looming and a bunch of bizarre rule changes in effect (universal DH, runner starting on second base in extra innings, expanded rosters, and more playoff teams), the season is set to be the most unpredictable in years. You know who else is stoked about the season finally starting? Musicians. There’s always been a romanticism between artists and baseball that makes perfect sense.

Josh Klinghoffer’s Latest Pluralone Single Features Flea and Jack Irons
Josh Klinghoffer has remained extremely busy since he was dismissed from the Red Hot Chili Peppers last December.

Though they’ve been hit hard by COVID-19 on many levels, Pearl Jam played their first “show” as a band (Eddie Vedder performed solo at One World Together and at Jack Johnson’s streaming event) since the release of Gigaton. Though it took a while to get to this point, Pearl Jam performed Gigaton’s first single “Dance of the Clairvoyants” for the first time at the All in Wa COVID-19 fundraiser. Of course, the performance was recorded from their respective homes. They were the last band to perform on the night at the 1:06:29 point of the show. The song featured Stone Gossard on bass, Jeff Ament on guitar and keys and a special appearance by former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who was supposed to join the band on tour this spring. Vedder’s wife and kids made...
