<p>I’ve always admired the work of Roger Angell. Baseball fans look forward to his semi-annual contributions to the <em>New Yorker. <a onclick=”window.open(this.href, ‘_blank’, ‘width=184,height=235,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0’); return false” href=”http://baseballbookshelf.mlblogs.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/angell.jpg”><img title=”Angell” height=”191″ alt=”Angell” src=”http://baseballbookshelf.mlblogs.com/my_weblog/images/angell.jpg” width=”150″ border=”0″ style=”FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 5px 5px” /></a></em></p>

<p>I came across these two interesting videos featuring legendary baseball writer Roger Angell’s appearance at a three-day seminar of Kelly Writers House at the University of Pennsylvania in early 2005. I know these work with the Real Media player, but I’m not sure about others. </p>

<p>Angell, 86, is the author of such books and essay collections as <em>Game Time</em> and <em>Once More Around the Park. </em>He published <em>Let me Finish</em>, his memoirs, last year. </p>
