I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend "Game Time" by Roger Angell.

I'm only a third through, but early on there was a piece that had me reminiscing about the Mets of only a couple years ago as if they were my team.

I am, of course, a Red Sox fan.

Another feather in Angell's cap, growing up a Yankees and Giants fan, at an early age he left the Yankee camp recognizing that there's more reward to baseball than simply winning every year.
