Summary: Ball Four: My Life and Hard Times Throwing the Knuckleball in the Big Leagues is a hilarious recounting of Bouton's season with the expansion Seattle Pilots. Jim Bouton pissed a lot of people off by opening up the clubhouse doors and showing the world what it was really like to be a Major League ballplayer, from downing amphetamines to the unfair process of pre-Free Agency contract negotiations.
