Smashing Pumpkins play in Athens

Billy Corgan grew up an avid sports fan, collecting more than 10,000 baseball cards and listening to every Chicago Cubs game. He has appeared at Cubs games many times, and has thrown out first pitches. He sang 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' at Wrigley Field. He was also a devoted fan of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks in the '90s, and became friends with players Dennis Rodman and Chris Chelios. Robb D. Cohen / robbsphotos.com
