Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - E kii ana a Vedder e whakapono ana ia ki te Atua engari kaore ia e hono atu ki tetahi haahi motuhake. He maha nga wa e tuhi ana ia i nga waiata me nga kupu e whakahe ana i te mana whakapono. He kaiwhaiwhai a Vedder mo Chicago Bulls me Chicago Bears, he kaiwhaiwhai roa, he kaiwhaiwhai mate mo Chicago Cubs. I te Whiringa-a-rangi 1993, i uru a Vedder me te kaitakaro o mua o White Sox a Jack McDowell ki tetahi pakanga i te whare paari i New Orleans, Louisiana i hopukina ai a Vedder mo te haurangi i te iwi me te whakararu i te rangimarie. I waiata a Vedder i te waiata a motu i mua i te kēmu tuatoru o te 1998 NBA Finals i Chicago, a kua waiatahia e ia "Tukua ahau ki te Taakaro Ball" i nga keemu e ono o Cubs, tae atu ki te Taakaro 5 o te 2016 World Series
He aha? I te tau 2007, i etahi ra i mua i tana mahi me Pearl Jam i Chicago mo Lollapalooza, i maka e ia te pitch tuatahi i Wrigley Field, te kaainga o nga Cubs. I tuhia e Vedder tetahi waiata i runga i te tono a te kaitiaki poto o mua o Cubs me te kaitiaki tuatahi a Ernie Banks e whakahonore ana ki nga Cubs e kiia ana ko "All the Way". I te ra i muri i te wikitoria o te 2016 World Series, i tukuna e te kaute Twitter a te Cubs tetahi riipene ataata i tautokohia e te waiata a Vedder hei mihi ki nga kaiwhaiwhai Cubs.
