Good points... Guess I’m stuck with an age-old walkman.

Umm... Actually the remote/FM tuner made by apple has direct access to the headphone lead.

You want to listen to the Cubs? In God's name, what for? Why don't you just beat yourself with a hose instead? Or lie down on the railroad tracks? Or donate your life's savings to the Tribune Corporation? Seriously, the Cubs are pathetic in every way.

I’m currently looking for an AM radio connector, for my iPod, so I can listen to the Cubs broadcasts, during the day.

It’s a technical issue to do with different wavelengths. AM radio requires much larger aerials than FM does, because it’s got a longer wavelength. With FM, you can get away with a tight coil -- portable AM radios, on the other hand, generally rely on the headphone lead to double as a longer aerial.
Obviously this doesn’t fit with the iPod’s modular architecture very well... few extensions are utilise access to the headphone port (save a few for input/recording?), and none I’m aware of have a physical path to it.
