“It is hard to describe the beat I do without saying very often it involves people who have died. And it seemed like an unfair way to frame it. It didn't quite seem right. … Sometimes there's no dead body, or sometimes there's 6,000, but the function is the same: that the people you speak to have gone through enormous painful trauma, and then there's a way to cover it that minimizes that trauma. So … I don't cover the dead. I cover trauma.”

On Saturday, more than 50 years after he started writing about the game, Roger Angell will be honored at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. If you're unfamiliar with Angell's work, here's where to start: The Summer Game, the first of his three incomparable collections of baseball writing for The New Yorker.
Our friends at Open Road Integrated Media have made the book available for 80% off through the weekend. And they've been generous enough to share an excerpt with Longform, "The Interior Stadium," a 1971 classic in which Angell captures the timelessness of the game. "Since baseball time is measured only in outs, all you have to do is succeed utterly," he writes. "Keep hitting, keep the rally alive, and you have defeated time. You remain forever young.”

Especially when you go to places where people are getting killed for the silliest reasons, and a life is worth so little, you realize you don't necessarily have to value yourself as this, like, precious commodity that can't be risked in any way. And that's just a personal choice, and it's actually a very selfish one, because obviously, if you have loved ones, you're affecting them by making that choice. In any case, it's just a different headspace that you inhabit."

“I'm less caught up in my freelance career anxieties every day that this goes on. Maybe I'll become a paramedic, who knows? Magazines I write for are already shutting down because of this. You can only freak out so much before you decide that if you end up having to find a new way to make a living, that's what you'll do.”

An argument for outing a notorious message board member: “Under Reddit logic, outing Violentacrez is worse than anonymously posting creepshots of innocent women, because doing so would undermine Reddit’s role as a safe place for people to anonymously post creepshots of innocent women.

“Morning and night the hordes of clerks and stenographers and business men who fill the offices of down-town New York have poured across Newspaper Row and City Hall Park with scarcely a glance at the labor progressing underfoot that is going to bring them so many minutes nearer their work in the morning, and at night so many minutes nearer their play.”
