I just learned that one of the greatest baseball writers of my (perhaps any?!) generation passed away at 101. He wrote many an article on the sport for The New Yorker, which were then turned into numerous books. I have copied his OBIT here. It should work. I hope everyone takes the time to read it and, even more importantly, read one of his many books. The images they conjured were amazing. He wrote in such a relaxed and easy going way. Please do yourself a favor and read at least one of his masterpieces. You will not regret it. I guarantee it. Peace and RIP, Mr. Angell.
