Jim Bouton used to live in Teaneck and was a listener to the show. He came to several benefit concerts during the early 80's. We chatted briefly, a very nice guy. He knows his music, especially blues. He was also up on folk music as well.

My brother-in-law was very close with one of his sons and also speaks glowingly of Bouton.   He was treated as a pariah after writing the book, but he was just being honest. The book really was a breakthrough for sports journalism and it is still a great read.
