This is my favorite part of the post - as this is my favorite book. I can just imagine the use of the two major expletives, in all of their possible combinations. (and also being muttered with a mouthful of a grinder)

Fit shuck, let's pound some Budweisers.

The place where the Pilots played is now a Lowe's lumber yard - store - whatever. But there is a plaque in the parking lot where home plate was located.

There was a lot of GOOD ball played at Sick's Seattle Stadium. One of the greatest men's fastpitch championship tournaments was played there.

"Hey blondie, hows your old tomato?"

"For 'Cripes' sake, Gelnar, you'll never get them out drinking Dr Pepper"

In the eighth inning of the first game of a DH when the Pilots are getting pounded (again): "Well, gentlemen, the sandwich choices in between games are chicken, turkey, and roast beef"


How appropriate was it when the first trade the Pilots ever made, was trading away Lou Piniella???

I have to admit that through Ball Four, I got a very elementary education in swearing at the tender age of 11....


A movie that is still begging to be made someday.....although, as Bouton says, finding a Joe Schultz just might be impossible....

The TV show barely made a few episodes, so I doubt a movie would do much better. Especially in today's world when most people would sit there, shrug their shoulders and say, "yeah, so what's the point?"
