<DIV><b>A classic collection of early sportswriting by renowned reporter Roger Angell</b></div><DIV><BR>Acclaimed <i>New Yorker</i> writer Roger Angell&rsquo;s first book on baseball, <i>The Summer Game, </i>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&rsquo;s most beloved sport through the 1960s, spanning both the winning teams and the &ldquo;horrendous losers,&rdquo; 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&rsquo;s sports journalism is an insightful and compelling look at the great American pastime.</div>
