Geddy Lee (lead Canadian Rush-er: 1968-1997; 2006-present) loves baseball more than you. He’s been in fantasy baseball teams since the 80s (and now demands only 40-man keeper leagues), has been caught in more jerseys than Kendra Wilkinson, and sang the best rendition of the best anthem before the World Series:

And when he passed through Kansas City in support of Rush’s latest album, he brought an extra trunk with him filled with 200 incredibly rare signed baseballs from Negro League players or proponents. He then gave the entire collection to the Negro Leagues Museum in Kansas City. There’s so many that the museum hasn’t yet deduced how to show them all.

We’ve already documented many of the ways Bud Selig genuinely tries to atone for baseball’s historical treatment of black men through his tenure as commissioner. If we had ESPN’s pull, we would arrange a dinner between Geddy Lee and Bud Selig and record the whole conversation for broadcast. “My Dinner with Geddy” would be an art-house hit or at least a YouTube sensation.

We’re quite serious. Bill Simmons, get your “E:60″ producer on this. Not as a joke, not as a put-on… it might be the most interesting baseball conversation we’ve heard in years.
