Dollar Sign on the Muscle, by Kevin Kerrane A great look at baseball scouting. Lots of fun stories about the profession. Not a new book but still a great read.

I have some of the same books on my shelf. I really enjoyed "Dollar Sign on the Muscle". Follow that with "Prophet of the Sandlots". I did not see the ending coming.

Other good reads:

The Politics of Glory - about getting into the HOF by Bill James
Men at Work - by George Will
Nine Innings - by Okrent
The Fireside books of Baseball (three editions) are decent.

While reading the favorite reads of other members, I don't recall seeing anything by Roger Angell. What gives?
