But now Bouton, the former Major League player, most notably for the New York Yankees, and author of the controversial book "Ball Four," has even grander plans. Bouton announced plans Thursday for the creation of the Vintage Baseball Federation, a venture to unite the 225 VBBA teams, which cover 32 states, that play by 19th century rules, and convert conventional baseball and softball teams to the "gentleman's game," with a codified set of rules and a 2007 World Series.
