Title: The first man to brake baseballs code of Omerta
Review: Jim Bouton a former twenty game winner was the first player to brake baseballs unwritten code of Omerta. His classic book published in 1970 was based on his previous decade long experience as a successful pitcher. Reading his work we learn much about the day to day life of the pros. As well as much about their appetite for amphetamines and groupies. Bouton gives us insights into such baseball greats as Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Roger Marris and Johnny Sain.Finally Jim Bouton leaves us with a glimpse into the soul of a major league pitcher. When asked when the time comes when he no longer has the stuff to make the grade; would he still hold onto the ball? "I went down deep and the answer I came up with was yes. Yes I would. You see, you spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time (pg. 398)."
