I was hoping to somehow land an interview with Geddy Lee, the singer/bassist for the classic/prog rock band Rush because of his love of baseball and its history and, especially, his massive donations to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. So I e-mailed the band’s talent agency, SRO-Anthem, and got this reply:

“Thank you, but we’ll politely have decline the request at this time.”

I was a huge Rush fan in high school. My favorite album was “Hemisphere.” Now I’m a sad, sad panda.
