The offseason is too long. I need some baseball over this cold dark dreary time so I usually read a book somehow related to the sport. I doesn't matter whether fiction or non-fiction, just something well written that is about or baseball is a large part of the story. This thread is for any books you think I (or others) should read with regards to baseball. So what you guys got?

To start it off my personal favorite is probably 9 innings, by Daniel Okrent.

I've been meaning to pick up that book, actually.

I'm re-reading Fantasyland by Sam Walker. This book gets me pumped up for the upcoming fantasy baseball season.

Ironically, I just finished an entire chapter about Dan Okrent and how he invented fantasy baseball.

Ball Four by Jim Bouton should be required reading IMO.

Never heard of it. Why?
