The other day, I was looking through the clearance section at the local used book store, my typical rummage for cheap sports books. Picked up a handful of books. One of which was "Slick" by Whitey Ford. For $2, hell yeah. I normally wouldn't even bother mentioning the books, but it gets better. I open the damn thing up, and it's f*cking signed by Whitey. Quite possibly the best $2 I've ever spent.
Anyways, my total haul over the past few weeks has been(all hardcover with DJ)
Barnstorming to Heaven-$7(not clearance)
The Ken Burns Baseball book-$5
The Curse of the Bambino-$2
Now I can Die in Peace-$2
Say Hey-$2
Jackie Robinson:A Biography-$2
Out of Bounds(Jim Brown)-$2
Fumble:The Browns, Modell and the Move-$2
Clint Eastwood:A Biography-$2(I know it's not sports, but ya gotta love Clint)
and of course the signed copy of Slick-$2
I've got a lot of reading to do...Anyways, halfway through "Barnstorming to Heaven". It's a great read so far. I would definitely recommend it..
