The Bullpen Gospels
Three Nights in August by Buzz Bissinger -- A through-the-eyes-of-Tony-La-Russa recounting of a pivotal three game series between the Cardinals and Cubs in August 2003.
The Last Boy by Jane Leavy -- Not only an exceptional (!) biography of Mickey Mantle, but also a wonderful look into what life was like at the time as both a fan and as a professional baseball player. Notable stories about the Yankees and its many players of that era, Willie Mays, Duke Snyder.
The Bullpen Gospels by Dirk Hayhurst -- A hilariously honest and at-times brutal telling of what life is like as a minor league, "non-prospect" pitcher.
Up, Up, and Away by Jonah Keri -- Because the Expos are amazing, and I love and miss them.
The Bullpen Gospels (also I assume Out of My League will be good as well)
The Rotation, but you know, yeah.
Oh. My. God. I read the punchline to this in this book but it didn't have the whole joke. Just that it was an octopus with bagpipes and something like, "Play 'em? As soon as I get these fancy pajamas off I'm gonna fuck her!" I thought it was hilarious and actually spent some idle Googling time trying to find the full joke with no success.
So thank you!
Dirk Hayhurst did something similar and it turned out great.
