  Fifty years ago Jim Bouton began changing baseball, note by furtive note.
  Unbeknownst to most, he was writing down the unreported ways of the game and its players, as he sat, marooned, in the bullpens of Houston, Seattle and Triple-A Hawaii.
  What followed in 1970 was “Ball Four.”
  It was more of a portal than a book. Suddenly we saw the flesh and felt the blood of major league players. Myths fell into the ocean like ice chunks. Faces on baseball cards actually drew you into a corner a
