Ball Four
by Bouton, Jim
Ball Four is a book written by former Major League Baseball pitcher Jim Bouton in 1970. The book talks about Bouton's career with the New York Yankees, the Houston Astros, and primarily his season with the Seattle Pilots (the club's only year in existence). Despite its controversy at the time, with baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn's attempts to discredit it and charging it detrimental to the sport, it is considered to be one of the most important sports books ever written.

Description:
VG+ / VG. 1970 World, stated first edition. Hardcover with dust jacket. Still the funniest, most entertaining sports book ever written. Release basically got Bouton blackballed from baseball, and he went into acting - most notably in Robert Altman's version of 'The Long Goodbye'. It's a must-see film, and Ball Four is a must-read book.
