The Baseball Project is about to release its second album, Vol. 2: High and Inside. The band – Steve Wynn and Linda Pitmon from Steve Wynn and the Miracle 3, Peter Buck from R.E.M. and Scott McCaughey from R.E.M., the Minus 5 and Young Fresh Fellows – has come together once again to celebrate the national pastime, and they’ll perform this afternoon at 5 p.m. at Euclid Records (3400 Chartres St.), where they’ll record the performance and select a song or two to be released on a limited-edition 45 that will be sold to benefit the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund.
