According to the story, Jesus had a rather weak stomach. The book pales in comparison to "Ball Four," but I did like the ending section where Bouton shared some of the feedback he had received. The one that struck me was the father who blamed Johnny Antonelli for his son's "problems" for not giving him an autograph.
