A captivating collection of three nonfiction baseball books by acclaimed writer Roger Angell: The Summer Game, Five Seasons, and Season Ticket

The Summer Game, originally published in 1972, is a stunning collection of Angells essays on the major leagues, covering a span of ten seasons. Angell brilliantly captures the nations 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, Angells sports journalism is an insightful and compelling look at the great American pastime.

In Five Seasons, New Yorker sportswriter Roger Angell calls 1972 to 1976 the most important half-decade in the history of the game. The early to mid-1970s brought unprecedented changes to Americas ancient pastime: astounding performances by Nolan Ryan and Hank Aaron  the intensity of the best-ever 1975 World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and the Boston Red Sox  the changes growing from bitter and extended labor strikes and lockouts  and the vast new influence of network television on the game. Angell, always a fan as well as a writer, casts a knowing but noncynical eye on these events, offering a fresh perspective to baseballs continuing appeal during this brilliant and transformative era.

And in Season Ticket, Roger Angell once again journeys through five seasons of Americas national pastimechronicling the larger-than-life narratives and on-field intricacies of baseball from 1982 to 1987. Angells collected New Yorker essays, written in his unique voice as a fan and baseball aficionado, cover the development of the game both on the diamond and off. While diving into subjects such as Sparky Andersons 84 Detroit Tigers, the legendary 1986 World Series and the Curse of the Bambino, and the increasingly pervasive issue of player drug use, Angell reveals the craft and technique of the game, and the unforgettable stories of those who played it.
