Default Found book!

It's the custom in my town for people to leave books they no longer want at our
local recycling center.
While dropping off my recycling yesterday, I found a first edition of "Ball
Four" by Jim Bouton, complete with a DJ in solid good condition.

At bookfinder.com, I do not find that this is a prized book, but maybe
you know something aboutyour copy. I checked because I used to have
this item. IIRC, Jim Bouton is he person who successfully challenged
OB's reserve clause.

Bouton was a star pitcher for the New York Yankees. The player who
successfully challenged the reserve clause was outfielder Curt Flood
of the St. Louis Cardinals.
