Another vote for You Know Me Al, which I feel is nothing short of brilliant. I love any of the Brooklyn Dodger books because the subject matter is just so rich. Halberstams’s Summer of 49 is excellent even though my Sox lost. I also found Bill Lee’s The Wrong Stuff to be a fun read. More recently, The Art of Fielding (fiction) was good. The Kid From Tompkinsville and subsequent sequels are great for young readers.
