Ball Four book cover
Ball Four
The Final Pitch
Jim Bouton - 1990-07-12 (first published in 1970)
Goodreads Rating
4.0 (19k)
SportsNonfictionBaseball
This classic book shook up the sports world when it was first published in 1970. With a new prologue by the author, it remains an important social document and beloved by fans. Though once considered a traitor and "social leper," Bouton's book is still being read today, even by those who don't typically follow baseball.

"Dark Trade" takes readers on an illuminating journey through the world of professional boxing. Author Donald McRae, known for his award-winning non-fiction books, captures the stories of legendary boxers like Tyson, Bruno, and Holyfield in striking detail. With wit and compassion, McRae delves into the human desire for fame and the societal issues of race and violence that fuel this brutal sport.
