Five Seasons: A Baseball Companion | 
pickRoger Angell, longtime fiction editor and sports writer for The New Yorker, passed away last year at the age of 101. So it‘s about time I read some of his baseball essays. Five Seasons is a collection of 16 essays about baseball, World Series, the beginning of free agency, and scouts. His writing is clear and engaging. His love of the game, and his fears for its future are clear throughout. Non fans can simply enjoy the well crafted prose.
