A realistic, humorous look at the game of baseball in the 70's.
It was so good to read this again! I read it when I was in High School and a huge baseball nut. Was actually surprised to find out baseball players are humans, with faults, issues and a lot of humor. Jim Bouton's writing style is fabulous and reads very easily. It is dated now, the names are long gone, a modern fan may have trouble with it, but for old-timer me, it is very nostalgic.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Revealing
It was okay at first, but, like the baseball season for a non-contending team, it became redundant and long at the end. I imagine it was revolutionary in its day.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

BALL FOUR:Not as shocking these days,because it was written in 1970,but it’s a wonderful inside peek behind the scenes.
