I had wanted to add music to this podcast but I was having a great deal of backgroung noise in Audacity.  I couldn't figure out how to reduce or remove that noise.  I decided to simply record my voice on my digital recorder and download to Podomatic.  I hope you enjoy the recitation of one of the most famous poems in baseball.
