Words (don't come easy)

Thanks to Alex Belth at Bronx Banter for this link to Roger Angell's 2003 season wrapup in the New Yorker. Angell has always been one of my favourite baseball writers, but even if that weren't the case, you have to love a baseball article that includes the phrase "the wholly discombobulated Alfonso Soriano"...

The New Yorker also provides irrefutable evidence that Angell is one of the all-time greats by printing one of Angell's pieces from 1963 - this guy has been writing consistently good stuff for over forty years. Read it and weep...
