@ces1drums It is the best discription of the game and what baseball really means..

@TheSeattlehawk94 I also heard this the first time at that world series. I had recorded that game, and transcribed it from the screen. I have it hung up on the wall in my hall. I see it each day. And I too, read it when the season ends. This poem i hope will be read at my funeral when I die (as long time from now, i hope)

I remember in 1989 ABC opened the World Series with this audio....Before the quake...Read it every year at end of.baseball season..

Any chance you have this on mp3?  I'd kill to have an audio file of this to keep on hand.
