Four!

As you already know, one of my all-time superslices is Ball Four, so this was nice to read:

Cool scene in the Yankees clubhouse Tuesday, when catcher Chris Stewart sat on a couch reading Jim Bouton’s classic “Ball Four.” The book, released in 1970, shattered the glossy image of baseball players as clean-living heroes, and showed Yankee icons like Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris as complex human beings.

To be honest I don't recall much of Maris in the book, but I do welcome any opportunity to re-post my man Mickey with the greatest story ever.
