Re: OT: What books are in your Sports Library???
..great list-but you forgot one of the all-time greats:"Ball Four" by Jim Bouton...as hilarious and eye-opening (especially on the subject of players and "greenies"-even then players were trying to get an edge!) today as it was in 1970!

The Sports Bestiary by George Plimpton. If you haven't read it, worth a borrow from the local Library as the wit and humor is right on.
Cather was a Spy about Moe Berg was eye opening and well written
Best Ports Writing of 1992. The Dave Barry Article about the Miami Heat is one of the best articles I have ever read. Humorous, insightful and well written.Leave a comment:
