Samurai Shortstop is a good pull. I liked The Boys of Summer for how much time it spends on the people around the game, not just the season itself. Friday Night Lights also worked for me even though I’m not a huge football fan. Sports books seem better when they zoom out a bit.
I don’t know if memoirs are what you’re looking for, but any time I get a chance to suggest Every Day I Fight by Stuart Scoot, I will
Because of living in New England for most of my life..
“Faithful” by Stephen King and Stewart O’Nan was a very enjoyable read. I loved every page.
You don’t have to be a fellow New Englander, or a Red Sox fan to fully enjoy it imo. His exuberance for the game of baseball in general really shines throughout the book.
The bad guys won. It’s the story of the 1986 Mets.
Football for a buck by Jeff Pearlman. It’s about the old USFL. lot of crazy stories.
Mike Tyson’s autobiography, *undisputed truth*, was absolutely fantastic.
