You should get a lot of responses here, but Levy's other book, "The Last Boy" about Mickey Mantle was also great. Some guys feel it treats Mantle disrespectfully, but in my opinion, it portrays him poignantly and compassionately as a real human being.
A couple of my other favorites are "October 1964" by David Halberstam, and "It's Good To Be Alive" by Roy Campanella. There are so many great books. I'm trying to think of some more off the top of my head. There's one about the 16 inning game between Juan Marichal and Warren Spahn in 1963...(just looked) "The Greatest Game Ever Pitched" by Jim Kaplan. "I Had A Hammer" by Hank Aaron is also great. Mickey Mantle's "The Education Of A Baseball Player" also... Last edited by jgannon; 08-13-2021 at 03:55 PM.
