sports stars discover early that high school football and b

woven into the emotional fabric of the community. By c
trast. high school baseball games—and even college a
minor-league games—are attended for the most part by a

ketball players tend to be sensitive to their team and
crowd, baseball players to their game and the experience.
But even beyond that. Bouton was a pitcher, the most
dependent figure in a team game that with every pitch
played one-on-one. When Bouton sighs how he loves ba
