"When I was a kid, I'd always listen to baseball games on the radio, the sound of the crowd underneath the announcers is exactly the same as it was when I was a kid. I love being in my car and listening to baseball games on the radio."—Ben Gibbardhttp://mlb.mlb.com/news/article_entertainment.jsp?ymd=20081031&content_id=3656709&vkey=entertainment&fext=.jsp
