Angell, Roger.

Roger Angell's evocative essays span over forty years and are told from a fan's perspective. Angell showed an interest in publishing at an early age and became editor of his school newspaper. In 1942, he graduated from Harvard and went on to write and edit short stories and essays for the next decade. He joined the staff of The New Yorker in 1956 as a fiction editior. In 1962, The New Yorker invited Angell to attend spring training and write on baseball. Since that time, Angell has written two to three lengthy baseball pieces each year. To date, Angell has written over one hundred articles for The Sporting Scene. He wrote his first full-length book, A Pitcher's Story, at the age of 81. In 2006, a collection of autobiographical essays, Let Me Finish, was published.
