Book Reviews of Ball Four
Book Review: The Original and still the BEST "inside baseball" book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have probably read this book cover to cover 20 times, and leafed through it to read passages another 50 more. Jim Bouton blew the lid off baseball with this truly inside view of baseball's salary negotions, horny players, "annies", etc. His timing was socially relevent as well, as this was written during the infancy of the black power movement, the players union and free angency. No other baseball book has ever approached this one in terms of inside poop on stars, political insight, out and out laughs, and historical perspective. This book has given more references to myself and my friends' lexicons than any other.
