72 Stories
Geddy Lee, the beloved, iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Rush bassist, and New York Times bestselling author of My Effin' Life, shares the stories behind some of the special pieces in his lovingly curated and extensive baseball collection.One of the greatest bass players of all time, Geddy Lee is also a self-proclaimed baseball geek who assembled a noted collection of baseballs signed by some of the game's greatest players--selections from which he recently auctioned at Christie's. In 72 Stories: From the Baseball Collection of Geddy Lee, Geddy shares his love of the game and the stories behind some of his favorite baseballs and other items from his vast collection."Baseball was in my bones long before music started to seriously divert my attention," Geddy writes. He later sang the national anthem at the 1993 All-Star Game in Baltimore, cheers for the Toronto Blue Jays from his seat behind home plate and attends MLB games across Canada and the US. That lifelong love of the game comes through in 72 Stories. Told with the same charming candor that infused both of his memoir, My Effin' Life, and Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass, the stories told here relate to the legends of baseball--Satchel Paige, Joe Dimaggio, Shohei Ohtani among them--and to other famous figures who signed balls, such as the Beatles (during their final concert at Shea Stadium), Neil Armstrong, and John F. Kennedy.A lively personal tour through cultural and sports history, illustrated with more than 180 color photographs, 72 Stories: From the Baseball Collection of Geddy Lee is a delightful and loving tribute to the game.
