		Angell traded down from a spacious, corner slot to a rather cramped space about halfway down the hall, with room enough for a couple of chairs, a work station, some bookshelves and an unopened stash of wine – “promotional stuff,” he says, “looks pretty cheap” – on the floor.
		Angell was born in New York in 1920 to Katherine and Ernest Angell, an attorney who became head of the American Civil Liberties Union.
		Angell has contributed parodies, short stories and Christmas poems to The New Yorker, but he has most distinguished himself by his editing and his baseball essays, the literary notes of an admitted amateur that began in the early 1960s when the magazine was seeking to expand its sports coverage.

		Angell's earliest published works were pieces of short fiction and personal narratives.

		Angell, who turns 80 this year, has been writing about baseball for the New Yorker since 1962, though until recently he devoted much of his time to other tasks at the magazine.
		Angell edited a recent collection of New Yorker love stories, and also wrote an introduction to a new edition of "The Elements of Style," the classic little book on writing by his stepfather, E.B. White, and William Strunk.
		Angell, always wary of nostalgia, often points out that baseball gets better all the time, its players bigger and stronger and faster, though he does not disguise his misgivings about the home-run glut disfiguring the game.

		Angell says of White’s essay, “the piece also resounds everywhere with loneliness and isolation and the romance of what has been lost: the great old newspapers, the young intellectual and his lady love whispering together in a restaurant booth, the memory of speakeasies and ‘so many good little diners in good little illegal places’.
		Angell thinks that he is Odysseus in Hades when he walks around New York in 1999 because he knows what it means to be alive while everyone else is a shade, a ghost.
		Angell, writing in the dull torpor of the late Nineties, cannot be faulted too much for having missed the prophetic nature of these paragraphs.

		The "wizardly old master" Angell had intended to extol was suddenly "Merlin falling headlong down the palace stairs." There's gold to be spun from that, though, and Angell, the essayist as deft alchemist, spins away.

		Angell (The Summer Game) not only details Cone's highs and lows on and off the playing field, but does a superb job in recording Cone's anxieties and frustrations as the two men move through the disappointing 2000 season.

		Angell is best known as a baseball writer and there's some baseball here, but there's a lot more.
		There are (to relate a few) essays on skipping school to go to the movies, a trip by bus with a pal and a sick snake to the zoo's reptile attendent for treatment (for the snake), and a memorable round of golf with an "older woman".
		I think Roger Angell has captured those fleeting feelings and those tender personalities in a very emotionally satisfying way, regardless of whether or not he has lived a life of seeming privilege.

		The title of this book, I should add, isn't about wrapping up a life or a time of life but should only evoke a garrulous gent at the end of the table holding up one hand while he tries to remember the great last line of his monologue.

		NEW YORK May 20, 2006 (AP)— If the history of The New Yorker could be captured in a single life, honors would likely fall to Roger Angell, who at age 85 predates the magazine itself and remains as vital as the publication he literally grew up with.

	A Pitcher's Story - Innings With David Cone
		With A Pitcher's Story: Innings with David Cone, Roger Angell attempts, with thrilling command, something he's never tried before— devoting a whole volume to one player by spending an entire season at his heels.
		However, along the way, the perennial all-star has had to adjust to four different ballclubs, recover from a career-threatening arm aneurysm, cope with the lofty expectations that are standard practice for the game's highest paid players, and overcome a humbling three-month, eight-game losing streak in the summer of 2000.
		But once Angell, got away from this, and wanted to write about the twilight years of a great clutch pitcher, he ended up with just another jock bio.

		The style of Angell's personable baseball writing is partly the result of circumstances at The New Yorker, he says.

		And Roger Angell is the type of writer who can chronicle the declining years of a star without being too maudlin or cynical.
		Angell wanted to look at the life of Cone, an unusually thoughtful man, an aging cowboy heading off into the sunset (which is not an inappropriate metaphor, considering the seemingly-perennial free agent was often looked on as something of a hired gun).
		We read of a strict upbringing in a family where sports were important, of his development from little league standout to high school prospect to major league stardom.

		He perfectly captures the quiet freedom unleashed when behind the wheel or in the back of a moving vehicle and pinpoints one of those quintessential moments when all seems right in the world and full of promise: "There were many reasons for my feeling so happy.
		By Angell's depiction, Andy seems like a kind man, full of wisdom, talent, and the one-of-a-kind hankering for words and sentiment that produced not only the industry's top guidebook for grammar and writing, but also one of the best children's books ever written.
