I was just at Family Day at my kids' preschool on the upper east side of Manhattan and who did I walk past but Jim Bouton this morning! He looks great and has a granddaughter at the school. I couldn't bring myself to pester him as he was with his wife but, of course, I felt deep regret immediately after. He was a huge hero of mine as a kid and wrote, in my estimation, the greatest baseball memoir of all time.
