hopefully you guys have some soccer books to add to this list. god please no baseball books, about 70% of sports books at borders bookstore are baseball.

Damn, I was going to say Fair Ball by Bob Costas, but that's a book about baseball

But I guess I'm mentioning it now anyway, oh well. It's a really good book

Moneyball is fantastic, still about baseball, but much more about finance and the theory behind putting a team together.

Ball Four

Not sure if anyone else has read this, but I loved the Miracle of St. Anthony's

i thought lance armstrong came across as being ultra-cocky in his autobiography.

no one hates baseball more than i do (considering i live with three red sox fans who watch every fricken' game), but moneyball is by far the best non-fiction book i've ever read.

pinnacle is a good sports book. Bodog is not as good

Does Roddy Piper's book count? It was funny.

If wrestling does count, Mick Foley/Mankind/Dude Love/Cactus Jack's book is great even for non-wrestling fans.
