The Progress of the Seasons: Forty Years of Baseball in Our Town Audiobook (Free)

From 1946, a then eight-year-old George Higgins, followed by dad and grandfather, began taking the long train ride out to Fenway Park to discover some truth in immortals want Doerr, DiMaggio, York, and Williams, and later on, Yastremski, Marty Barrett, and many more. This is a reserve about football and about the Boston Crimson Sox; but that’s only area of the story. Beyond the video games, the book turns on thoughts about family and continuity and, obviously, the improvement of the seasons. There’s a magical instant when Higgins phone calls on his own mythic Emily to check on the all-time lineup with his deceased forebears. At that time, you’ve come to learn what the author’s values have in common with those in Our Town, and just why specific professional athletes attain immortality while others don’t. The Progress of the times of year confirms what admirers from the author’s gleaming accurate prose know: Higgins is to composing what Ted Williams was to football, an all-star.
