Title: Revolting!
Review: I purchased this book thinking it would be interesting to read what it's like to be a baseball player. I read maybe only 1/4 of the ball four section of the book, & was so incredibly disgusted, & appalled!! What a horrible dirty way to live, & I understand he was wanting the reader to know how their life really was, but Bouton thinks the disgusting lifestyle is funny, & obviously enjoys telling about it. The language is so incredibly vulgar & filthy page after page, that I quit reading it because I felt so filthy. It could be that they talked that way, but why would you want to continually repeat that kind of language! I read parts from Ball 5 to the end of the book, & Bouton definately cleaned up the language & the vulgar way of living on this section, but then to continue with Ball 6, & onward? Bouton is definately someone who can't let go with that time of his life. This was definately not worth the .99 I paid for it!
