This book is authored by the iconic rock-artist and collector Geddy Lee, known for blending his passions for music and baseball.

It features more than 180 full-color photographs and memorabilia from Lee’s extensive baseball collection.

Geddy Lee, the beloved, iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and bassist for Rush — and also a self-proclaimed baseball obsessive — shares the stories behind special items in his treasured baseball memorabilia collection.

In 72 Stories: From the Baseball Collection of Geddy Lee, he recounts his lifelong love of the game, from singing the national anthem at the 1993 All-Star Game to cheering for the Toronto Blue Jays, and attending MLB games across North America.

Through personal anecdotes and recollections, Lee connects fans to legends of baseball — including figures like Satchel Paige, Joe DiMaggio, and Shohei Ohtani — as well as culturally significant signatories such as the Beatles (from their final Shea Stadium concert), Neil Armstrong, and John F. Kennedy.

Told with the same warm, candid voice that endeared readers to his earlier memoir My Effin’ Life and Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass, this book offers a lively, personal tour through sports and cultural history.

“An inviting tour of our national pastime, led by a rocker with an infectious love of the game.” — Kirkus Reviews
