{"product_id":"ball-four-twentieth-anniversary-edition","title":"Ball Four: Twentieth Anniversary Edition","description":"Twentieth-anniversary edition of a baseball classic, with a new epilogue by Jim Bouton.\n\nWhen first published in 1970, Ball Four stunned the sports world. The commissioner, executives, and players were shocked. Sportswriters called author Jim Bouton a traitor and \"social leper.\" Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force him to declare the book untrue. Fans, however, loved the book. And serious critics called it an important social document. Today, Jim Bouton is still not invited to Oldtimer's Days at Yankee Stadium. But his landmark book is still being read by people who don't ordinarily follow baseball.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0020306652\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0020306652.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Bouton, Jim\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
