I've been reading this one and very much enjoying it. It was the first "tell all" book by a player, in 1960. Like Ball Four without the more salacious details.

Also rather interesting is The Warren Spahn Story, a 1959 book that is out of print. It reads like fiction because the author wrote it in fiction-style prose rather than in newspaper reporter style. Apparently, Spahn was so ticked off that he sued to stop its publication, and failed. It also has a really nice dust jacket if you can find one intact.
