Pearl Jam have released their own 8-bit baseball game in celebration of their new documentary chronicling their legendary 2016 performances at Wrigley Field in Chicago.

Wrigley Field is the home of Eddie Vedder’s beloved baseball team, the Chicago Cubs. Back in 2008 he wrote a tune for the club, and when the team was on a roll that saw them go on to win the World Series in 2016, Vedder was often spotted at the games leading sing-alongs of Take Me Out to the Ball Game, or even busking outside the stadium.

In the game, you can play as any member of the band as you try to top the scoreboard for a chance to win an autographed baseball and custom Pearl Jam baseball bat. Play it here.
