Just picked up Odd Man Out: A Year on the Mound with a Minor League Misfit by Matt McCarthy Kel Send a noteboard - 09/06/2011 05:45:02 PM
For some reason, I get the urge to read sports-related books in the Summer.

Last summer it was The Bullpen Gospels by Dick Hayhurst. After Odd Man Out, I may pick up Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis or The Unwritten Rules of Baseball by Paul Dickson.

When Fall gets back here, i'll probably fall back into my normal sci-fi/fantasy stuff.
