<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the second Bardball Bardcast.&nbsp; Bardball is a website
dedicated to baseball poetry, specifically poetry about the current
season.&nbsp; Poetry and doggerel have had a long history with baseball,
which we are honoring and resurrecting.&nbsp; Fans contribute the poetry,
songs and videos we post on Bardball.com.&nbsp; At the end of the year, we
hope to have immortalized the entire season, for every team nationwide,
in song and verse.<br/><br/>This Bardcast contains:<br/><br/><ol><li>&quot;Long Toss,&quot; by Todd Herges, a father's touching tribute to a daughter's long-distance trip to Chicago.<br/></li><li>&quot;Triumph of the Willis&quot; by James Finn Garner, a salute to a strong return to the pitcher's mound by the Tigers' Dontrelle Willis.</li><li>&quot;Sitting in Box Seats During Later Innings&quot; by Thomas Dyja, a parody of Robert Frost about sneaking down to more expensive seats during a game at Wrigley Field.</li><li>&quot;A Perfect Game&quot; by Gregory K., about a son taking in a minor league game with his dad, where the play on the field is only one of the joys of the evening.</li></ol>



Our theme music, &quot;Elmer 21-Century Hop&quot; was written by Rodd Keith.&nbsp; Our incidental music was written by Kevin MacLeod at <a href="http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/index.html">Royalty Free Music</a>, with the exception of &quot;Kitten on the Keys&quot;, which was written by Zez Confrey.&nbsp; Go Zez!!<br/><br/>For fresh baseball poetry every weekday during the season, check us out at <a href="http://www.bardball.com/">Bardball.com</a>.]]></description>
