Bouton Sent To Minors By Astros After Ball Four
Jim Bouton, 31, was optioned to Oklahoma City of the American Association after Houston sent him down to the minors. Manager Harry Walker defended the move, saying the book did not drive the decision, though Bouton noted it affected his play and his attention. He hopes to return to the Astros, aided by earnings from the controversial Ball Four and potential movie rights.
