Great post. I played ball with his nephews. I would have bet he'd be a pro player.
'Ball Four' should be required reading for every baseball fan.
I read Ball Four while on a cross-country vacation with the family in 1971.
A few years ago, I found the updated version, and started reading it last year. I think I'm up to chapter 2. :(
