Juiced By Jose Canseco is a good read simply because of how publicized it initially was and because the book is written in a much different manner than was publicly portrayed.

Plus, most of it ended up being true.

Ding ding, winner winner chicken dinner, thanks for the assist Big John! I could only come up with Lou, and that threw me off. Not great stuff or award winning, but funny stories non-the-less

Moneyball is still like a year away from release last I heard. Summer 2011 I'm thinking. Feels like that's been in production for a while now.

I am currently reading "Built To Win" by John Schuerholtz (long time Braves GM). It talks about the book Moneyball a lot, so I kinda wish I would have read it first. but nevertheless it is pretty good.
