The Slice

Another one pounds that Bud

I just passed along my hardcover copy of this book to a friend who is a big, big sports fan.

He has heard a lot about "Ball Four" over the years, but hasn't actually read it.

He was born in 1969 and the 1969 baseball season is the one Jim Bouton used to frame his breakthrough account of sports reality.

In a year that included the first moon walk and Woodstock, the adventures of the Seattle Pilots probably weren't all that important. But it is at least worth a footnote in the annals of Northwest sports history.
