I knew someone who toured with the group and Geddy loved throwing baseballs. Hed basically go through pitching innings like an actual game.

(20,214 posts)Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters has a 6 part series called "From Cradle to Stage" where he and his mother interview other musicians and their moms. One episode is an interview of Geddy and his 90 year old mom. It's a treat. If you don't have Paramount +, sign up for a free trial just to watch the series.
