Ball Four by Jim Bouton. It's ancient (written about his 1969 season as a pitcher for the Seattle Pilots), but it's the most entertaining sports book I've ever read. It's a diary of the season.
Another excellent book is Instant Replay by Jerry Kramer. He was an offensive lineman with the Packers during the Vince Lombardi years. |

I've only been able to skim through it thus far, but I'll say This is Russia: Life in the KHL by former Austrian goalie Bernd Bruckler. It's like the Wild West applied to pro sports.

Matt Christopher books were awesome to read as a kid.
My favorite though.... ahhhhh, I hate to admit this, but it's that Pioli/BB/Patriots jizz-fest book called "War Room." I loved that book. |

In the old days I loved reading the Bronc Burnett Series by Wilfred McCormick. They would be too corny or too "wholesome" for readers today.
