About the Book

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. "In the course of a well-lived century, he established himself as. . .baseball's finest, fondest chronicler." —The New Yorker

About the Author :
Roger Angell (1920-2022) was senior fiction editor of the New Yorker magazine and the author of, among other books, A Day in the Life of Roger Angell, The Summer Game, Five Seasons, Late Innings, and Season Ticket. In 2014, he was awarded the J.G. Taylor Spink Award, the Baseball Hall of Fame's honor for writers.

Review :
“Good collections make for good writers. Angell's is one of the best.” “An original and eclectic thinker who takes us right into the heart of the game.” “One of the most valuable players in American journalism.” “A magical collection...fits the game of dirt and spikes like one's favorite mitt fits one's hand.” “Angell covers the bases in this collection...marvelous imagery.” “Angell writes with economical precision, nailing observations as a pitcher does corners.” “Roger Angell is the best baseball writer of our time-maybe ever.” “The Babe Ruth of baseball writers.” “No one writes more evocatively about the craft and magic of baseball than Roger Angell.”
