    Would love stories if you've heard anything from her and she doesn't mind you telling

    Did not know that. Bouton spoke highly of him. That's all I knew besides his baseball skills.

    We need the Blue Jays to put up a little bit of a fight here... a scenario where our (potential) opponent has a fat rest while we deal with a tooth and nail series would be a bummer

    I'll ask for more details next when I see her. If I don't talk about it over the next month, try to remind me again in mid November. We should be all moved into our new house by then and both of our lives should be a little more slowed down. All she has said when he's mentioned is how weird he was, he didn't bathe so he smelled horrible ALL the time and amongst the people she knew, they all felt he was most likely to go on a shooting rampage or have dead bodies hidden somewhere.

    This series.....and in these coming games. He's been a zero in clutch situations, can't have 2 on, 1 out and hit something so soft it didn't even qualify for in infield fly.

    Bouton was a bit of a dick, too. Broke the code of the clubhouse.

    Made for a great book, though.

    Code breaker? ... yes indeed. Great book? Oh yeah ... that's an understatement. I loved Ball Four.

    Wow...Bouton was the code breaker guy who invented the Enigma device?
    Shit, I thought it was somebody named Cumberbatch...

    he is a jerk who thinks he knows everything
    very intelligent guy
    but as i often say, there's a huge difference between being "book smart" and having "street smarts" or common sense
    he trains pitchers to throw in what he refers to as the most economical/effective way without the risk of injury
    and since scouts/organizations don't see the talent in his players
    he then [naturally] spins it to baseball has blacklisted him
    dude is the epitome of a narcissistic megalomaniac

    The leg of lamb line was on loan from the great Rodney.
