...autobiographical chapter "Early Innings," Angell allows us to glimpse the moment when he, a control-challenged junior-high screwball hurler, gave up his big-league dreams and "took up smoking and irony in self-defense." He must have outgrown the irony too--otherwise how could he describe with such tender eloquence a forgettable player, onetime New York Mets shortstop Tony Fernandez, taking batting practice, "laying each bunt down like a necktie on a bed."

The crab cakes, one of the restaurant’s most popular dishes, eschewed fancy seasonings in favor of tons of fresh crabmeat and a small amount of breadcrumbs. The accompanying seasoned roast potatoes and spinach made for a nice change from...
...tender age of 22, I’m not so sure about my earlier career plans. Six weeks from graduation and the requisite pains of looming self-sufficiency, I’ve had to discount most of my previous designs on how to make a living as impractical. I don’t have the arm for the football gig, I don’t have the brains for professional science and I definitely don’t have a funny bone big enough to please America night in and night...
