* Review: Ball Four

May 28, 2008

A blast from the past courtesy of the Lansing State Journal.

Upshot:

…[O]ne book is not responsible for the seismic shift in sports media during the past 40 years, or even the past five years. But it’s part of it, and Bouton’s book is among the first insights that the game, the strategy and the personnel who make up baseball haven’t changed so much as the relationship with anyone outside of their immediate world has.
