Description
In this perceptive baseball companion, Roger Angell revisits the 1985 season and the Kansas City Royals’ dramatic championship over the St. Louis Cardinals while reflecting on the teams, players, and stories that shaped the game. He examines the Orioles’ success and profiles memorable stars alongside the sport’s changing culture, including the growing presence of cocaine use and the arrival of drug testing. Combining sharp observation, intimate character sketches, and an enduring affection for baseball, Angell offers both a vivid record of the era and a thoughtful meditation on the game’s triumphs and troubles.
