From the Inside Flap
author and journalist Roger Angell has selected his favorite essays, articles and stories on baseball from the last thirty years to create the definitive volume of his most memorable work. The essays in this volume bring back extraordinary games and innings and performances that Angell has witnessed and written about so well, and give proof of his range and humor and virtuosity.<br>"Roger Angell's ONCE MORE AROUND THE PARK is a baseball book for all seasons. To read it is like watching a game unfold in its own good time over a long afternoon, hoping it will go into extra innings and last until sundown. . . . What puts ONCE MORE AROUND THE PARK on the big-league shelf is, above all, language and, after that, respect for the individuality and awe for the professionalism of its characters. Mr. Angell makes baseball sound like an art form; he demonstrates that writing about it is an art form, too." -- Herbert Mitgang, The New York Times<br><br><br><i>From the Trade Paperback editi

Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Good. The most celebrated baseball writer of our time has selected his favorite pieces from the last forty years to create Once More Around the Park, a definitive volume of his most memorable work. Mr. Angell includes writing never previously collected as well as selections from The Summer Game, Five Seasons, Late Innings, and Season Ticket. He brings back the extraordinary games, innings and performances that he has witnessed and written about so astutely and gracefully-The Interior Stadium, on the complex attractions of baseball; In the Country, on a friendship that began with a fan letter and took him far from the big stadiums and big money; The Arm Talks, on contemporary pitching strategy and the arrival of the split-finger delivery; and many others. Mr. Angell's conversations with past and present players and managers, scouts and coaches, rookies and Hall of Famers enhance his own expertise and critical appreciation, which define him as the game's most useful and ardent fan. Angell resembles a pitcher with pinpoint control. As a chronicler of the game, he's in a class with Ring Lardner and Red Smith.-Newsweek. Angell's perceptions are fresh, vivid, and uncannily accurate. Only a fan who cares this much could observe so carefully and write so eloquently.-San Francisco Chronicle. A triumph of art and grace.-Chicago Tribune Book World. Seller Inventory # CIN0345367375G
