Michael Moynihan: Happy 100th birthday to the great Roger Angell - who has a Cork connection, you know

Baseball journalist Roger Angell wasn’t a beat writer; he wasn’t a columnist; he would just tip away to spring training and games to write about whatever took his fancy

I forgot to mention a birthday to you a couple of weeks ago, and I am taking advantage of last week’s absence (sore leg, not recommended) to do so now.

Roger Angell turned 100 years old late last month. If you are a connoisseur of urbane fiction of a certain type you may know his work as an editor with the New Yorker magazine.
