April 19, 1969...GAME 8 (CHW 6, SEA 4)

Bouton arrives in Tacoma, but the Mounties game is rained out. His dedication to getting back to "the show" is unmatched as he works out on the field in his long johns even though everyone else is gone. Quite possibly he has gone over the edge. The difference between a minor league clubhouse and a major league one (even Seattle's) is like night and day. No bat racks. Bats are stored in garbage pails. Possibly an omen ?

The big club dropped a 6-4 decison the the Chisox at Comiskey. Marty Pattin took the loss and gave up 6 runs, 4 of which were earned. In fact he was the victim of back to back dropped fly balls in the 2nd inning by Comer and Chico, don't call me Gore, Vidal. Boy that wind in Chi-town must really have been blowing.
