<DIV><b>Roger Angell&rsquo;s chronicle of baseball&rsquo;s most fascinating and unforgettable years</b></div><DIV><BR>Classic<i> New Yorker</i> sportswriter Roger Angell calls 1972 to 1976 &ldquo;the most important half-decade in the history of the game.&rdquo; The early to mid-1970s brought unprecedented changes to America&rsquo;s ancient pastime: astounding performances by Nolan Ryan and Hank Aaron; the intensity of the &ldquo;best-ever&rdquo; 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 baseball&rsquo;s continuing appeal during this brilliant and transformative era.</div>
