In the greenroom with the Baseball Project, a supergroup that includes several former members of R.E.M. and makes music exclusively about the sport.
On a Saturday afternoon in August, while the Red Sox were trouncing the Yankees in the Bronx on the way to a series sweep, members of the Baseball Project, a supergroup that sings about baseball, were settling into the greenroom of the Sinclair, a small venue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, not too far from Fenway Park. The night before, they’d performed in Brooklyn—Yankees territory, more or less.
“I was, like, ‘Oh, man, what’s it like to play at, you know, an eighty-thousand-seat football stadium?’ ” Kantor recalled asking Mills. “He’s, like, ‘What’s it like to play at the World Series?’ And I was, like, ‘Oh, right. That actually is really cool.’ ” McCaughey usually wins the league, though every member of the band is competitive—except for Buck. “I’ll be in the van back there, and it’s like fantasy whatever—”Buck doesn’t follow sports. “He’s our token non-baseball man,” Wynn said.
These days, the money is bigger and any weirdness is under wraps. The band doesn’t shy away from the game as it is now—there’s a song about Shohei Ohtani, and a sly take on doctored balls —but it can be a struggle to come up with material. “A lot of the current players are kind of boring,” McCaughey said. “They don’t drink and carouse like they used to. I mean, probably for a good reason.”

We Can't See the First Stars Yet, but We Can See Their Direct DescendantsThe first stars in the Universe were enormous, made of primordial hydrogen and helium from the Big Bang. They lived short lives, exploded as supernovae, and seeded nearby nebulae with heavier elements that began the next generation of stars. Our telescopes aren't powerful enough to see them yet, but have astronomers found their direct descendants? The metal-poor stars in the galactic halo seem to show the imprints from those first stars and could offer valuable clues about the first stars in the Universe.
