There are some great stories in Pat Jordan's book "A False Spring." Jordan was a bonus baby for the Braves in 1959. The book's about his time in the low minors and wash out of baseball after knowing for certain his whole life he'd play in the major leagues.
Lots of great low minors stories about guys like Elrod Hendricks, Phil Niekro, Rico Carty. Travis Jackson was his manager for a season. Whit Whyatt was his pitching coach. It's a really cool book.
