Formation

The Baseball Project formed in 2008 in New York City after discussions between Steve Wynn, a former member of The Dream Syndicate, and Scott McCaughey, formerly of The Young Fresh Fellows and The Minus 5. They invited R.E.M. bassist Peter Buck and drummer Linda Pitmon to join them (Pitmon being a longtime colleague of Wynn's).
