Pearl Jam announced on Tuesday that they will play two concerts at Wrigley Field in August, much to the delight of their Chicago-based fans. One of those fans is Cubs pitcher Jason Hammel, who is already cracking jokes about playing hooky to catch the concert:
Dear Theo, I think I'm gonna b feeling really sick on Aug 20&22. I should stay home n get some rest. Thx 4 understanding.#PearlJamAtWrigley

If anyone would feel for him, it’s definitely team president Theo Epstein. Epstein is a well known fan of Pearl Jam and has gone to great lengths to catch their concerts. He also has had band member Eddie Vedder, who is a big Cubs fan, play at his charity events.
