JIM "BULLDOG" BOUTON
Signed full-length color photo of Jim Bouton in a Yankees uniform and throwing the ball.
Photograph signed: "Jim Bouton". Color, 7¾x10. With Major League Baseball Photo File
logos in lower left corner. Jim "Bulldog" Bouton (1939-2019) first gained notice as an
integral member of the NY Yankee staff in the final three seasons (1962-64) of the
four-decade New York dynasty. He was 7-7 as a rookie, then had an All-Star season in
1963. But the Yankee dynasty and Bouton's career both came crashing down in 1965. He
blew out his arm and the New York offense failed. He doggedly pitched through pain for
two seasons, going 4-15, 4.82 in '65 and 3-8, 2.69 in 1966, the year the Yankees fell to last
place. Bouton spent most of the rest of his career in the bullpen, and began to throw a
knuckleball in 1968. He retired after the 1970 season and spent some time as a TV sports
reporter in New York. Bouton also gained both fame and notoriety for writing Ball Four, a
tell-all account of his years in baseball. The book infuriated many other players, and for
many years Bouton was unwelcome at old timers' games and other baseball events. He has
since been welcomed back into the baseball community. Fine condition.
