I remember reading "Screwballs" by Jay Cronley when I was a kid. Absolutely hilarious and (being a kid) the language and some content was a little raunchy. I tried to read it again a few years ago and it still held up. I'm pretty sure the Major League movies basically plagiarized this book for ideas. It still is my favorite Baseball fiction book.
If you are a baseball junkie and love stories about the 2nd World War (especially espionage and spying), I would highly recommend The Catcher Was A Spy: The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg. This Nicholas Dawidoff piece is a little bit of a slow read at first, but once you get into it you will really enjoy it! One of my personal favorites

I will have to check that one out. Thanks.
I'm in the process of finishing up up this week. I get easily distracted with my sports reading, but I enjoyed the early World War espionage, as well as the old tales of baseball from the time period. Hope you like it
Personally, I think Moneyball was an oustanding book and I enjoyed reading about the upcomings of new draft strategies in real time baseball. The book flowed well, the chapters were split well.
I'm finishing License To Deal as recommended by someone [forgot who it was, sorry] and I have to say it is a very interesting and midly well written novel. I reccomend it to any baseball enthusiast
