A False Spring, by Pat Jordan is my favorite. Certainly is not an uplifting story but terrific writing.

The Soul of Baseball, by Joe Posnaski is the best book I read last year.

These are books I read (or re-read) in the last couple of years and enjoyed.

Why Time Begins on Opening Day, by Thomas Boswell
Dock Ellis in the Country of Baseball, by Donald Hall
You Gotta Have Wa, by Robert Whiting
The Long Season, by Jim Brosnan
Ball Four, by Jim Bouton
The Boys of Summer, by Roger Kahn
Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy, by Jane Leavy
Crazy '08, by Cait Murphy
The Baseball 100, by Joe Posnaski

and a highly recommended fiction entry:

Man on Spikes, by Eliot Asinof
