Description

Roger Angell’s chronicle of baseball’s most fascinating and unforgettable years
Classic New Yorker sportswriter Roger Angell calls 1972 to 1976 “the most important half-decade in the history of the game.” The early to mid-1970s brought unprecedented changes to America’s ancient pastime: astounding performances by Nolan Ryan and Hank Aaron; the intensity of the “best-ever” 1975 World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Red Sox; the changes growing from bitter and extended labor strikes and lockouts; and the vast new influence of network television on the game. Angell, always a fan as well as a writer, casts a knowing but noncynical eye on these events, offering a fresh perspective to baseball’s continuing appeal during this brilliant and transformative era.
“A book for people who miss good writing, who miss clarity, lucidity, style and passion. It’s a book for all seasons.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Roger Angell is the clear-eyed poet laureate of baseball. His books are like long, wonderful strings of base hits by the home team.” —New York Post

“Angell . . . comes from the magazine writer’s school of sportswriting: calm, meditative, not deadline driven or space cramped, free to follow the fast-and-slow, squeeze-and-relax rhythms of the game.” —Time

“Roger Angell is a stunning writer. . . . A writer who can translate the nuances of the game with perfect clarity.” —The Wall Street Journal
