Enjoyable Sports Books

FGators · #1 10-09-2007, 09:22 AM

Okay, I haven't read a good sports book in a long time. In the past I enjoyed books by Mike Lupica and John Feinstein. I pretty much would like to stick to reading books on either basketball (college or pro), football (college or pro), tennis, golf, or hockey. I have no interest in Olympic sports/X Games/swimming,etc. Pretty much just what I listed.

Can anybody give me any solid suggestions or point me in a direction of a good author (Is Feinstein still the way to go).

By the way this Bill Plaschke book with Tommy Lasorda ("I Live for this!" looks like it could be a solid choice when it gets released.

lol, Matt Christopher.

Is there any chance that guy wasn't a boy-hungry pedophile?

Moneyball is a good read.

lol I love Matt Christopher. You really think Catcher with A Glass Arm was his best?

I was a big fan of "The Kid Who Only Hit Homers"

If you go to his website everything is written in present tense. "Matt Christopher is a best selling author.." "He is the writer young kids turn to.." "He has written over 100 books.."

It's really creepy because he died 10 years ago....
