Roger Angell has been writing about baseball for more than forty
years . . . and for my money he's the best there is at it," says
novelist Richard Ford in his introduction to Game Time. Angell's
famous explorations of the summer game are built on acute
observation and joyful participation, conveyed in a prose style as
admired and envied as Ted Williams's swing. Angell on Fenway Park
in September, on Bob Gibson brooding in retirement, on Tom Seaver
in mid-windup, on the abysmal early and recent Mets, on a scout at
work in backcountry Kentucky, on Pete Rose and Willie Mays and
Pedro Martinez, on the astounding Barry Bonds at Pac Bell Park, and
more, carry us through the arc of the season with refreshed
understanding and pleasure. This collection represents Angell's
best writings, from spring training in 1962 to the explosive World
Series of 2002.
