The Bullpen Gospels

Major League Dreams of a Minor League Veteran
Dirk Hayhurst - 2010 Kensington Publishing Corporation

I'm sure this book has garnered many comparisons to Jim Bouton's Ball Four and for good reason.  Both are hilarious and revelatory accounts from pitchers about some of their time playing professional baseball. 

This book is very entertaining and there were many laugh out loud moments.   The writing is easy to understand and frank in its descriptions.  Considering the accounts Hayhurst did choose to share, I can hardly imagine what he chose to leave out.   The greatest part of this book, however, is Hayhurst's attempt to find meaning beneath the jersey and his prerogative to share that meaning with us.

In all, a highly recommended book.
