'''Roger Angell''' (September 19, 1920 – May 20, 2022) was an American essayist known for his writing on sports, especially [[baseball]]. He was a regular contributor to ''[[The New Yorker]]'' and was its chief fiction editor for many years.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/27/sports/baseball/revered-essays-on-the-game-lead-to-a-hall-of-fame-honor-.html | title=Revered Essays on the Game Lead to a Hall of Fame Honor | work=The New York Times | date=July 26, 2014 | last1=Sandomir | first1=Richard }}</ref><ref name=Kettmann>{{cite web |first=Steve |last=Kettmann |url=http://archive.salon.com/people/bc/2000/08/29/angell/ |title=Roger Angell |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090113153446/http://archive.salon.com/people/bc/2000/08/29/angell/ |archive-date=January 13, 2009 |website=[[Salon.com|Salon]] |date=August 29, 2000}}</ref> He wrote numerous works of fiction, non-fiction, and criticism, and for many years wrote an annual Christmas poem for ''The New Yorker''.<ref name=Kettmann/> Sportswriter [[Jane Leavy]] called him "the [[Babe Ruth]] of baseball writers."<ref>{{cite book| last=Leavy| first=Jane| title=The Big Fella| date=2018| page=18}}</ref>

==Career==
In 1948, Angell was employed at ''[[Holiday (magazine)|Holiday Magazine]]'', a travel magazine that featured literary writers.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2013/05/holiday-magazine-history |title=The Visual and Writerly Genius of Holiday Magazine |last=Callahan |first=Michael |date=May 2013 |magazine=Vanity Fair |access-date=May 29, 2018 |language=en}}</ref> His earliest published works were pieces of short fiction and personal narratives, several of which were collected in ''The Stone Arbor and Other Stories'' (1960) and ''A Day in the Life of Roger Angell'' (1970).<ref name="Bonomo2019">{{cite book |last1=Bonomo |first1=Joe |title=No Place I Would Rather Be: Roger Angell and a Life in Baseball Writing |year=2019 |publisher=U of Nebraska Press |isbn=978-1-4962-1529-1 |pages=21, 76 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NeSKDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA21 |language=en}}</ref>

Angell first contributed to ''The New Yorker'' while serving in Hawaii as editor of an Air Force magazine; his short story titled "Three Ladies in the Morning" was published in March 1944. He became ''The New Yorker''{{'}}s fiction editor in the 1950s, occupying the same office as his mother,<ref name="AP-Obit"/> and continued to write for the magazine until 2020.  "Longevity was actually quite low on his list of accomplishments", wrote his colleague [[David Remnick]]. "He did as much to distinguish ''The New Yorker'' as anyone in the magazine's nearly century-long history. His prose and his editorial judgment left an imprint that's hard to overstate."<ref name=Remnick>{{cite magazine |last=Remnick |first=David |date=May 20, 2022 |title=Remembering Roger Angell, Hall of Famer |url=https://www.newyorker.com/news/postscript/remembering-roger-angell-hall-of-famer |access-date=May 21, 2022 |magazine=[[The New Yorker]] |publisher= }}</ref>

He first wrote professionally about baseball in 1962, when ''New Yorker'' editor [[William Shawn]] had him travel to [[Florida]] to write about [[spring training]].<ref name=Kettmann/><ref name=Influences/> His career as a baseball writer coincided with the first season of the [[New York Mets]]. His style of baseball writing was inspired, he said, by [[John Updike]]'s article on [[Ted Williams]]'s farewell to fans at [[Fenway Park]], "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu". Angell said "John had already supplied my tone, while also seeming to invite me to try for a good sentence now and then, down the line.”<ref name="nytimes1" /> His first two baseball collections were ''The Summer Game'' (1972) and ''Five Seasons'' (1977).<ref name="Bonomo2019a">{{cite book |last1=Bonomo |first1=Joe |title=No Place I Would Rather Be: Roger Angell and a Life in Baseball Writing |date=2019 |publisher=U of Nebraska Press |isbn=978-1-4962-1529-1 |pages=67, 193 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NeSKDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA67 }}</ref> These were followed by ''Late Innings'' (1982) and ''[[Season Ticket: A Baseball Companion]]'' (1988). 

Angell has been called the "Poet Laureate of baseball" but he disliked the term.<ref name=Kettmann/><ref name=Influences/> In a review of ''Once More Around the Park'' for the ''Journal of Sport History'', Richard C. Crepeau wrote that "Gone for Good", Angell's essay on the career of [[Steve Blass]],{{#tag:ref|Originally published as "Down the Drain"<ref>{{cite magazine |author=Roger Angell |title=Down the Drain |url=http://archives.newyorker.com/newyorker/1975-06-23/flipbook/042/ |url-access=subscription |magazine=The New Yorker |location=New York |date=June 23, 1975 |access-date=February 9, 2021 |pages=42–59}}</ref> |group=lower-alpha}} "may be the best piece that anyone has ever written on baseball or any other sport".<ref>{{cite magazine |first=Richard C. |last=Crepeau |title=Review of ''Once More Around the Park''  |volume=29 |number=3 |url=http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/JSH/JSH2002/JSH2903/jsh2903ad.pdf |magazine=Journal of Sport History |pages=510–12 }}</ref> Another essay of Angell's, "The Web of the Game", about the epic pitchers' duel between future [[Major League Baseball All-Star game|major-league All-Stars]] (and eventual teammates) [[Ron Darling]] and [[Frank Viola]] in the [[1981 NCAA Division I baseball tournament|1981 NCAA baseball tournament]], was called "perhaps the greatest baseball essay ever penned" by [[ESPN]] journalist [[Ryan McGee]] in 2021.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-sports/baseball/story/_/id/31474244/ron-darling-frank-viola-ncaa-baseball-greatest-game-ever-40-years-on |title=Ron Darling, Frank Viola and NCAA baseball's greatest game ever, 40 years on |first=Ryan |last=McGee |website=ESPN.com |date=May 21, 2021 |accessdate=May 24, 2021}}</ref> Angell contributed commentary to the [[Ken Burns]] series ''[[Baseball (TV series)|Baseball]]'', in 1994.<ref name="Schudel2022">{{cite news |last1=Schudel |first1=Matt |title=Roger Angell, editor, baseball writer at the New Yorker, dies at 101 |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2022/05/20/roger-angell-new-yorker-dead/ |newspaper=Washington Post |date=May 20, 2022}}</ref>

== Awards and legacy ==
David Remnick said, “I’m not sure there’s ever been a writer so strong, and an editor so important, all at once, at a magazine since the days of [[H. L. Mencken]] running ''[[The American Mercury]]'',” adding “Roger was a vigorous editor, and an intellect with broad tastes.”<ref name="nytimes1" /> Per his ''[[New York Times]]'' obituary, "Like his mother, Mr. Angell became a New Yorker fiction editor, discovering and nurturing writers, including [[Ann Beattie]], [[Bobbie Ann Mason]] and [[Garrison Keillor]]. For a while he occupied his mother’s old office — an experience, he told an interviewer, that was 'the weirdest thing in the world.' He also worked closely with writers like [[Vladimir Nabokov]], [[John Updike]], [[Donald Barthelme]], [[Ruth Jhabvala]] and [[V.S. Pritchett]]."<ref name="nytimes1" />

Angell has four pieces excerpted in the [[Library of America]] volume ''Baseball: A Literary Anthology'', more than any other author. Editor [[Nicholas Dawidoff]] quotes a letter Angell's stepfather, [[E. B. White]], wrote to Angell: "It's new and exciting to have someone exploring baseball at the depth you have ventured into."  Dawidoff writes:  <blockquote>Angell's achievement was to turn quotidian baseball writing into belles lettres. In so doing he became the preeminent baseball writer of our era, a generous, appreciative, meticulous observer whose descriptions of the game are set forth with grace, brio, and wit. (Who else would refer to "the vast pastel conch of Dodger Stadium"?) Angell has Wagnerian range (Honus, that is); he is a master capable of vivid excursions into the profile (see Bob Gibson); he can make games he never saw breathtaking in their excitement (witness the 1986 National League playoffs); and he often reflects on matters philosophical ("The Interior Stadium" is the consummate baseball essay). He can write at length and, what is often more difficult, can write in brief.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dawidoff |first=Nicholas |title=Baseball: A Literary Anthology |publisher=[[Library of America]] |year=2002 |pages=413}}</ref></blockquote>
