G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted May 20, 2022 Posted May 20, 2022 Roger Angell, baseball writer extraordinaire, has died at 101. He covered the Mets from their first Spring Training and through all their successes and many of their failures. He always came through.http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2022/05/20/that-rare-inner-smile/http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2022/05/20/that-rare-inner-smile/

Willets Point Old-Timey Member Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Ok, what's the secret behind using the Instagram tag?
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted June 1, 2022 Author Posted June 1, 2022 Mark Singer was often Roger Angel's baseball-watching companion over the past 45 years. He recounts an episode from Spring Training 2017.Needing more biographical detail, Roger insisted upon a between-innings sortie to the press box for the up-to-date lowdown. Cane in hand, and my eighteen-year-old son at his elbow, he attempted to board an elevator but was stopped by a security guard demanding his credentials. “Not only am I the oldest person in this ballpark, I'm also in the Hall of Fame,” Roger said, and up they went.I do believe that's an all-time flex.https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/watching-baseball-with-roger-angellhttps://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/watching-baseball-with-roger-angell
