Summary: 5 Stars
Roger Angell has been writing essays in The New Yorker since 1960 and originally was a fiction essayist extraordinaire. He first started writing about baseball in The New Yorker in about 1962.
This compilation of essays tells the complete story from many different entities and factions of modern day baseball. The Author weaves specific tales from eclectic viewpoints. Some of these viewpoints are from the memories of people such as Smokey Joe Wood in "The Web of the Game" to Bob Gibson in "Distance".
Also specific teams are a mainstay of Mr. Angell such as the New York Giants, New York Yankees, New York Mets, and Boston Red Sox and yes even the Cleveland Indians. All these stories dwell on the people and the personalities of the game of baseball. It's as if Mr. Angell is probing into the heart of the game as if we were there asking the questions and trying to find out the finer nuances of the game.
Angell possesses the platinum pen of the best baseball writer of all. His stories are timeless, so much so that I could read them over and over. They cover the entire modern day era of baseball as we know it today. Truly priceless! 9 Stars, it's that good!!!
