Super Sky Point to Jim Bouton, who wrote a book that I read when I was fourteen that changed my life. When you get to heaven, smoke ‘em inside, Bulldog. #BallFour #RIP pic.twitter.com/fPzMiQWGFB

This photo is from 2017, when Jim Bouton, who was struggling with his health, still wanted to play catch in his backyard in the Berkshires. Nobody ever captured the humor and humanity of ballplayers the way Bouton did in Ball Four. Rest easy, Bulldog. pic.twitter.com/gVZZSKxRLh
