I was looking for books to read and I came across Ball Four. I first learned about it on ESPN's SportsCenter of the Decade of the 1970s. A few years ago I bought the book and read through some of it and I was amazed. It was unbelievable for me back then to see what went on in the Yankee clubhouse. Anyone who loves baseball should get this book. It isn't for the young ones, however. Kids probably 13 or under shouldn't read it.

No, but I have something very similar--The Worst Team Money Could Buy by newspapermen Bob Klapisch and John Harper about the 1992 New York Mets (a far cry from the 1986 championship team, I must say!).
