Marcos Abal recoge en el prólogo cuáles son los objetivos de su libro: “Este libro es más bien una reconstrucción. Primero, del niño que creció viendo fútbol y siendo del Barça. Y segundo; de esos jugadores, de algunos, que han pasado por el club y se han quedado grabados para siempre en la memoria colectiva de unos aficionados. Una mitología, por lo tanto, creada a partir de una infancia y de unos dioses particulares, aunque conocidos por todos.

"Prescindí de la televisión. Hay una peña bética en Málaga. Tienen un queso sabrosísimo: Ciudad de Sansueña es la marca. Hay que cortarlo fino y saborearlo bien: el sobrepeso es un claro síntoma de un abandono que hay que saber atajar a tiempo. Ignoro si en la peña siguen fumando Ducados como enfermos mentales o lo dejaron ya. El regusto de la mezcla del queso y el tabaco negro era tan horrible como la decadencia del Betis tras aquello del Chelsea y la final de la Copa de 2005: una decadencia paralela a la mía."

The inside story of the most colorful decade in NFL history - pro football's raging, hormonal, hairy, druggy, immortal adolescence. Between the Immaculate Reception in 1972 and The Catch in 1982, pro football grew up. In 1972, Steelers star Franco Harris hitchhiked to practice. NFL teams roomed in skanky motels. They played on guts, painkillers, legal steroids, fury, and camaraderie. A decade later, Joe Montana's gleamingly efficient 49ers ushered in a new era: the corporate, scripted, multibillion-dollar NFL we watch today.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.
