Angell, always a fan as well as a writer, casts a knowing but noncynical eye on these events, offering a fresh perspective to baseball’s continuing appeal during this brilliant and transformative era.","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107229647088,"sku":"9781453297810","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453297810_p0.jpg?v=1763847687","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453297810","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
