“Very funny, and definitely a landmark book in the history of player/fan transparency. It's weirdly honest too-- Bouton obviously tries to portray himself as a sympathetic character, and for the most part he is, but there are times when even reading things from his point of view is not enough to make you like what he's doing.
The writing is a little choppy and amateurish. Of course this is the very nature of the book, but it does keep it from the full 5 stars IMO.”
