Geddy Lee Shows Off His Unbelievable Baseball Collection 

Who would've thought Geddy Lee would have the most extraordinary baseball collection ever! It is so random. It is so cool.

That collection is definitely closer to his heart

The sandlot kids: "We lost a ball signed by Babe Ruth!" Geddy Lee: "What year do you need?"

Christie's auction of 491 lots of baseball memorabilia from Geddy Lee's collection brought in $6.9 million. Among the top selling items were: Babe Ruth's 1938 Brooklyn Dodgers jersey - $882,000. Hank Aaron's 1968 Atlanta Braves jersey - $567,000 Amazing 😊

I, too, have an autographed baseball collection. His collection is slightly better than mine.

Geddy donated 400 pieces of memorabilia to The National Negro Leagues Museum. Those pieces are called The Geddy Lee Collection. It's lovely to know that a musician I respect seems to be a much better person.

His comment about throwing a baseball without a glove is totally true!

Toronto is my hometown so everyone Looooves Rush and Geddy Lee. I've never really been a fan. Until recently. I've seen Geddy in a few different interviews and he really is the coolest guy. And I'll admit that Rush is a fantastic bunch of musicians so I guess I'm a fan. ❤

What an unbelievable collection, wow

That is incredible.I have a card collection that I'm proud of,but this is awesome. Congrats Geddy.

My Dad was a huge baseball fan in the purest sense, he was a stats nut. He passed away in November of 2022. He had a baseball signed by Johnny Logan that reads "To Buzz, fuck you, Johnny Logan"! I don't care what it's worth, miss you Dad!

I had no idea that Geddy Lee had this collection. Unreal !🤯 Also that joke about the Jays when he threw the first pitch 😂 😂😂

Has to be the most prestigious and largest baseball collection in the world. Can't imagine anyone rivaling that.

That warms my heart to know one of my greatest heros shares a love of baseball.

I love how Geddy Lee is so chill when he isn’t singing

A priceless Rather piece. Knowing Geddy is a baseball fan makes him so real. Thanks!

I had no idea he was into baseball and he has one of the craziest collections I've ever seen.

I've seen at the Blue Jay's game but I didn't realize he had such a collection. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🤘🤘

Thanks for showing us... LOVE IT!!

A great combo.. My favorite news man ( Dan Rather) and my favorite musician ( Geddy Lee) it doesn’t get no better. 👍

Spending his money wisely. One of the true great rock legends you rarely hear anything negative from.

I would LOVE a baseball signed by Geddy Lee.

Loved baseball and 2112!!!!

Geddy is such a cool dude

Makes me love Geddy even more! What's better than Rush and baseball? Not much. Side note - that collection must be worth millions. Crazy.

I found out last year that he had this amazing collection of baseball memorabilia when there was an online auction through Christie's auction house that raised almost $7 million dollars. I bid on a baseball that was signed by Jake LaMotta / Raging Bull, but it went higher than I was willing to pay, unfortunately.

😊just when i thought i knew something... baseballs been very good to Geddy.👍🔆🎸🐬

Never met Geddy, did meet Neil once on accident. Nicest guy you could ever meet. Think that group of guys are just worth their weight in gold as humans on this planet. Cool hobby Geddy and thanks guys.

The interaction between Geddy and Dan is magical.

I LOVE he loves baseball! I love basball...

The first concert I ever saw was Rush on the 2112 tour. Thanks for that Geddy.

Thanks for sharing this piece!

I never knew this INCREDIBLE

Wow, what a cool collection. He really loves the sport. What a great guy, a Canadian Icon.

Geddy is a treasure without saying. But Dan is great because he's genuine. No BS. Old school newsman. You don't see that anymore. Last of a dying breed.

So cool! Thanks for sharing:)

I stood within The Pleasure Dome the night Joe Carter his his famous home run

SO AWESOME.....WHO KNEW...???!!!

That is absolutely amazing, always love to see him at the Blue Jays game Rush is amazing

I'm heavy into music and have a huge collection of high-end baseball gloves. So this was cool to see 🤘

Dis dude right here, bro.

Very thankful for the helpful coincidences that are making and keeping me healthly.

That's an impressive collection. Great stories too.👍

This is equivalent of Randy Johnson loving photography. Always fun to learn what they do when they're not doing what they're known to do, they get geeky and they show high enthusiasm when they explain these stuff.

I hope he donates his collection to Cooperstown. Not saying he should, at the end of the day, it's his collection and I would not blame him one bit for wanting to recoup the costs. I, personally, would love to see his entire collection as a whole in its own wing of Cooperstown when he either wants to part with it or when he's gone. It's true an amazing collection...

Inside the sleeve of hemispheres, permanent waves, geddy gives a praise to the blue jays and baseball

Wow - who would have thought that he would have such a baseball collection.

Pop fly by night.

That’s amazing. Now show me Jordan Schlansky’s unbelievable Geddy Lee collection.

His best moment was giving his negro league baseballs to the negro league baseball museum. He is one of my lifelong heroes and musical icons.

A Pittsburgh Pirates George Sosnak ball is my dream. He went to my church when he was younger. I knew his sister before she passed.

I'd love to see that collection

Most Canadians are fantastic people! Geddy Lee is great ambassador for Canada

WOW… I want to go see his collection…

How did he get all these rare, signed baseballs. amazing.

Cool!!

Now THAT guy loves the game.

I have one ball signed by 4 A's HOFs from their world series team in the 70s. I'm a D-Backs fan, not sure when the A's won that series, maybe '72/'74?

Awesome!

ged only played in Rush to fuel his baseball obession

So THIS is who always outbids me on eBay with 0:02 left…

Hey Geddy, Did you see the Babe Ruth "Called Shot" Jersey that sold for $24.12 million.

as a massive fan of 1961, you can watch the footage of JFK/Johnson at the opening day and even watch that ball Geddy has being thrown by JFK on the mound. Incredible little item.

Wow, just an unbelievable collection. Hopefully this man has a son or sons who will protect this collection and his Legacy. This is exactly why a man needs sons.

Geddys always been a sports freak and he has big bucks,hence the Geddy HOF

Dang when I was ten or 12 years old goose gosage gave me a baseball he pitched playing for New York against Oakland a’s it was never signed but I lost t n the 90s when i moved..i would of sent this ball to geddy lee for his collection if i had it today ..it was 1979 or 1980 or so when i was younger

Id never have guessed. At 13 i cut my guitar teeth playing Rush.... 2112 was an amazing album for its time. Yea, never would have guessed Geddy Lee collects baseballs. Love em even more now.

Getty got some serious balls! I cant think of the interviewer name, but I grew up watching him as well. Dan Rather?

Geddy sang the anthem without a script. Hes a professional man.

Does he have a large collection of hockey pucks as well? I would think that would be any Canadian sports fans biggest obsession.

How cool is this, who would have thunk it!

"Some of these are quite dear" yeah, a bit of an understatement lol.

Who would have thought? Nice.

"In his cups"....... wow, I haven't heard that phrase in I don't know how long.

A man after my own heart....

Where is the Montreal Expos Warren Cromartie signed baseball? And is that Gary Carter's batting helmet @ 2:51?

Wow!!!!!

values have gone through roof

I'm curious what Keith Olbermann has to say! Keith has a pretty good Baseball card collection!

Gary!!!

Ken Goldin is salivating watching this…

Unbelievable collection....

“Have you seen my baseball!?”

He collects basses like baseballs. Lots of basses

Awesome collection. Bauer back in MLB!!

Most importantly, ....preserving history

I can't help but want to know more about that Cardinals jersey. I can't imagine that it's NOT a Musial jersey, but still.

I would’ve never guessed he likes baseball

Geddy, please do an interview with Rick Beato.

i'm a big fan of american baseball and rush.

4:22 I think I see John Kruk in the background 😂

He had Randy Johnson snap the cover art for their R40:Live album!

That’s not a collection, he’s curated a museum

"One likes to believe in the freedom of baseball."

Imagine the cost of the insurance rider on that collection alone? Great musician with a sweet baseball museum in his house!

I have a few Sosnaks, and a Nolan Ryan... I have a way to go to catch up to Geddy

"WOW"

Wow, Geddy! How'd a thunk you're a big time baseball fan!

Interesting that a talented Canadian musician would love the AMERICAN SPORT OF BASEBALL ..... a sport they do not share as we do with theirs (Hockey) had two teams - lost the one .... and Yet herein is a real collector - and of COURSE COGNIZANT OF THEE GREATEST TEAM EVER = New York Yankees !!! That's my team for 68 years. GBjj

Rush is the metal band from Canada
