Five Seasons
A Baseball Companion
Roger Angell
A celebration of the most important half decade in baseball history, Five Seasons covers the baseball seasons from 1972 through 1976. The era was notable for the remarkable individual feats of players like Hank Aaron, Lou Brock, and Nolan Ryan, as well as presenting one of the best World Series of all time (1975), including still the greatest World Series game ever played (Game Six). Roger Angell masterfully explores the beauty and complexity of the game, with visits to games and campaigns, and offers fascinating insights into the personal lives of players, owners, and fans alike. A must-read for all baseball lovers.
