AP: Roger Kahn, elegant 'Boys of Summer' author, dies at 92.

Joe Posnanski has written a beautiful remembrance on The Athletic, which is unlocked for all.

Probably every sports writer who ever read “Boys of Summer” was humbled by the beauty of Roger Kahn’s writing. He was in another league when it came to writing.

One of the only sports books I ever read was A Flame of Pure Fire, about Jack Dempsey, and it was incredibly well written and sourced.

I loved Good Enough to Dream. Maybe my all time favorite book. Anyone who dreamed of playing baseball should read it.
