eBay Item of the Day: The Ribald Revels of Baseball’s Bad Boys

If you buy something from a link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

That’s an intriguing teaser on the cover of this 1960 issue of Swank, isn’t it? Imagine how much more intriguing it would have been nine years before Ball Four came out, ripping away the veil of secrecy behind which ballplayers got up to all sorts of shenanigans. I have no idea what the article contains. For that, you’re going to have to get in on the bidding. (Bonus if you prevail: You’ll also find out about the “Murderous Mormon and His Teen-Age Harem.”)
