Thanks for the additions folks

Just got done watching the last episode I managed to tape of Ken Burns Baseball... Excellent.

Anyhoo, a while back I posted about a book I got from the library a few years ago. Couldn't place it, but people seemed to think it was Bouton's "Ball Four".

Does "Ball Four" go back to the late 19th century? I've had memories come back of the book I was reading, and it covered the more sordid side starting in the 19th century. I remember one story about a pitcher or umpire or somebody having to run for their life after a game.
