Jim Bouton, the former Yankees pitcher and tell-all author, has died at the age of 80, according to his family.

Bouton’s family said he died Wednesday at the home he shared with wife Paula Kurman. He fought a brain disease linked to dementia and was in hospice care. Bouton also had two strokes in 2012.He had been in a years-long battle with cerebral amyloid angiopathy.

His 10-season career saw him play with the Yankees, Seattle Pilots (now the Milwaukee Brewers), Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves. He joined the Braves in 1978, at the age of 39 after developing a knuckle ball and after having been out of the majors since 1970. He started five September games that season, going 1-3.

Bouton, who was 21-7 with a 2.53 ERA for the Yankees in 1963 and 18-13 the following season, helping them to the World Series each season, had a lifetime record of 62-63 with a 3.57 ERA. He was a part of their World Series winning team in his rookie season of 1962.

Bouton won a pair of World Series games in 1964 when the Yankees lost to the Cardinals in seven games.

A Newark native who was raised in Bergen County, Bouton is perhaps best known for his 1970 memoir “Ball Four,” in which he took readers inside the Pilots’ only season and also revealed indiscretions — on the field and off — that alienated him, for a time, from his former Yankees teammates, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford among them.

He was not invited back to Old-Timers’ Day at Yankee Stadium until 1998, when owner George Steinbrenner extended an olive branch. Bouton received a standing ovation upon his return

Bouton was also one of the creators of Big League Chew bubble gum and worked as a sportscaster for both Channel 2 and Channel 7 in New York. He is survived by his wife, Paula, and sons Michael and David. His daughter, Laurie, died in a 1997 car accident at the age of 31.
