[X4U] Problem accessing Major league baseball 2006 archives

[Mark Des Cotes]

Cheryl,

First off, it would be nice if you would provide the URL for the site 
you use. You mentioned using the narrow bandwith site but doing a quick 
search of mlb.com I couldn't find a link for narrow bandwith. Then 
again, it was a very quick search so I might have missed it. Secondly, 
it looks like gameday audio is a paid subscription service. I'm would 
like to help, but without having access to that part of the site I 
don't know what I can do. Good luck.
