Baseball Project vocalists Scott McCaughey performs during concert at the Guild Theatre in Menlo Park, Calif., on Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023. It’s a group with strong Bay Area ties, too: Buck was born in Berkeley; McCaughey grew up in Saratoga, and Wynn is a UC Davis alum.

“That was good timing,” McCaughey says of the A’s move to the Bay Area. “I went to a couple of World Series games in ’72 and ’73. They won three years in a row which is amazing.” Wynn became sports editor at the college newspaper, but found the Bay Area’s thriving punk rock scene impossible to resist.
