The winner of the annual series between the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariner will now win the Vedder Cup, a trophy designed by Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder. Vedder has close ties to both cities.
The Padres and Mariners play two series against each other every season. This year, they meet May 16-18 in Seattle and Aug. 25-27 in San Diego. This award is part of a charity drive benefiting the Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Partnership, an organization co-founded by Eddie and Jill Vedder. The charity is dedicated to funding research to discover treatments and cures for epidermolysis bullosa, a condition that causes blistering of the skin.
