The Bullpen Gospels by Dirk Hayhurst
This was an at random Kindle pick for me, and it paid off. I suspended all other readings until I had finished this book. I know this is going to sound super clichéd, but It had a feel of Bull Durham to it. It was funny, honest, and in the end emotional. I really enjoyed this book and recommend it to baseball fans or any male ages 22-35.
The Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons
I do not hate on ESPN like many people outside of the network do. I like their personalities and programs. The only thing I do not like has more to do with the sports climate than the network (and I am in support of the public creating the climate and the big networks capturing it). At any rate, yes this is an ESPN book and it is amazing. Bill Simmons creates comparisons of players, teams, eras and even pop culture fixtures. Although I am not a Kobe fan, probably my favorite piece in this book is the comparison between Kobe and Teen Wolf…it makes sense when he explains it, read it.
