- Synopsis
- This New York Times bestseller &“takes you into the heart of baseball as it was in the 1960s, conveyed with humor and insight&” (Tim McCarver, The Wall Street Journal). Acclaimed New Yorker writer Roger Angell&’s first book on baseball, The Summer Game, originally published in 1972, is a stunning collection of his essays on the major leagues, covering a span of ten seasons. Angell brilliantly captures the nation&’s most beloved sport through the 1960s, spanning both the winning teams and the &“horrendous losers,&” and including famed players Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Willie Mays, and more. With the panache of a seasoned sportswriter and the energy of an avid baseball fan, Angell&’s sports journalism is an insightful and compelling look at the great American pastime.
