Updike Hearts Ted Williams

If you like writing, or the sport of baseball, I beseech you, read this. It is an account of Ted Williams, and his last game at Fenway Park, penned by none other than John Updike. It'll take fifteen minutes, worth it because every other paragraph has a sentence like this:
[T]he second baseman turned every grounder into a juggling act, the shortstop did a breathtaking impersonation of an open window.
