{"product_id":"game-time-a-baseball-companion-roger-angells-forty-years-of-joyful-observations","title":"Game Time: A Baseball Companion – Roger Angell's Forty Years of Joyful Observations","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0156013878\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0156013878.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Angell, Roger|Ford, Richard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
