the last book I ever reread (Ball Four, excerpt nine)



from Jim Bouton's Ball Four:

Last night Gary [Bell] and I stayed up late talking about real estate and what future there might be in it for him as investor or salesman or broker and I suggested that he might get involved by reading some real-estate books. Gary is a typical ballplayer in some ways in that he doesn't seem to have any plan for himself, nothing to fall back on. The day he's out of baseball is the day he'll start thinking about earning a living. And then it could be too late.
