 SOME ACCOUNT OF JOHN BALE
Bale then relates his escape from Dublin in a small trading vessel, but before they had lost sight of land, he was taken by the pilot and commander of a Flemish vessel of war, who carried him on board their own ship, and robbed him of all his property.
Bale’s principal work was his “Summary of the Illustrious Writers of Great Britain,” in which, with most persevering industry, he collected from a variety of sources, a particular account of the most remarkable actions, sayings, and writings of each author, especially showing the errors and enormities of the church of Rome.
Bale must ever be respected for the bold and uncompromising manner in which he opposed the errors of the papacy, and the half measures of some among his associates; but the nature of his writings, though then very useful, gives him fewer claims upon our attention than most of the reformers at that period.

 JOHN BALE
Bale, a hard-throwing left-hander, had a brief stint with the Orioles during April, was sent to Rochester and then returned to Baltimore on August 24.
Like many tall (Bale stands 6-4) pitchers with big fastballs, Bale struggles with his command; it's not clear if he really has a pitch that he can be used for anything more than show other than his fastball, and occasionally Bale can't find the slot even with his hard one.
Bale's peripheral stats are classic for a pitcher who throws hard and gets pretty good movement, but has frequent control problems; he allowed only 18 hits in 26.2 innings, and fanned 21--both good marks--but walked a far too high 17--nearly six free passes per nine innings.

In John Bale, a comprehensive study of Bale's life and works, Happe brings together three areas of current scholarship - literary and theater criticism, theology and history, and bibliography - into one volume.
Covering Bale's polemical writings, his literary history and bibliography, and his five extant plays, including his celebrated historical drama King Johan, Happe argues that Bale was as much a political writer as a religious one.
