And David Halberstam writes: a book deep in the American Vein, so deep in fact that is by no means a sports book. Bouton has written a baseball book about the reality of the game. Thirty years after its publication, it remains as wonderful to read as ever.

Critical Reviews
"A book deep in the American vein, so deep in fact it is by no means a sports book."
--David Halberstam
"Ball Four is a people book, not just a baseball book."
--Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
"An irreverent, best-selling book that angered baseball's hierarchy and changed the way journalists and fans viewed the sports world."
--The Washington Post
"...vibrant, funny...To call it simply a 'tell-all book' is like describing The Grapes of Wrath as a book about harvesting..."
--Jim Caple
"A great book, wildly entertaining, worth reading every two or three years."
--Rob Neyer
