Jim Bouton

Day twenty-one of our daily readings from “Dear Los Angeles,” a collection of letters and diary entries from 1542 to 2018, while all of us quarantine in 2020.

Today’s entry from 1969 is from Jim Bouton, professional Major League Baseball player and author of the scandalous tell-all book Ball Four.

We love you, Los Angeles!


Jim Bouton played in the MLB as a pitcher for the New York Yankees, Seattle Pilots, Houston Astros, and Atlanta Braves between 1962 and 1978
