1.		Growing Up NASCAR: Racing's Most Outrageous Promoter Tells All from Motorbooks Price: $15.68 Customer Review: I have just finished reading "GROWING UP IN NASCAR" written by Humpy Wheeler, it is very well written and and the most entertaining book I have read in a long time. This book is filled with personal stories about all of the legendary people who made NASCAR the popular sport it is... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		George: The Poor Little Rich Boy Who Built the Yankee Empire from Wiley Price: $9.90 Customer Review: This book purports to tell George Steinbrenner's entire life story: not just the owning-the-Yankees-for-35-years part, but also his childhood, college years, and early business ventures. The problem is that Peter Golenbock, formerly an eminent baseball writer who's written encyclopedic tomes on... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Teammates from Sandpiper Price: $2.22 Customer Review: Teammates is a must have book for elementary educators. The only problem I had was with the company (hippo_books) I purchased the book from. I purchased a hardcover book, but was sent a paperback copy. The company did rectify the situation rather quickly when I notified them they had sent the wrong... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Dynasty: The New York Yankees, 1949-1964 from Dover Publications Price: $10.76 Customer Review: My first copy was given to me when I was a boy. The binding went bad (I'm 49 now). Purchased used copy which was paperback. It was an old yellowed copy but since I've read it before, I only wanted a cheap copy to refer to from time to time. Too bad this great book is out of print currently. THE... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		American Prince: A Memoir from Harmony Price: $12.99 Customer Review: I gave up after the first third of the book. While his early life was relatively interesting, I soon wearied of his boasting of his many sexual conquests. (Ewww!)	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Bums: An Oral History of the Brooklyn Dodgers from Dover Publications Price: $12.49 Customer Review: This is a very good and quite readable oral history about the Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1940-1950's. That celebrated team won several pennants, integrated baseball with Jackie Robinson, and had many colorful and talented characters. Written in the 1980's, we hear from ex-Dodgers stars like Roy... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Bronx Zoo: The Astonishing Inside Story of the 1978 World Champion New York Yankees from Triumph Books (IL) Price: $8.13 Customer Review: I read this book years ago, after reading Jim Bouton's Ball Four, but did not have a good recollection of the book. Now I know why. Although there are some entertaining parts in general the book is only average as a written work and the content, as one reviewer noted, is first person whiny. Sparky... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		7: The Mickey Mantle Novel from The Lyons Press Price: $0.25 Customer Review: If you like novels loaded with vulgarity, sexist remarks, overused rants of profanity, with a bent on revisionist baseball history, then you will like "7: The Mickey Mantle Novel". Be warned though that this book is not for the masses nor the fans of the legendary Yankee. It reads more like a comic... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		American Prince: A Memoir from Three Rivers Press Price: $5.00 Customer Review: I'd read some good reviews of this book so was disturbed about how poorly it was written. Mr. Curtis (on whom I had a huge crush growing up) is a selfish, self-absorbed man who thought only about where the next bout of sex was coming from. It's no wonder he's estranged from most of his children .	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Idiot: Beating "The Curse" and Enjoying the Game of Life from Three Rivers Press Price: $7.00 Customer Review: I'll admit it right here and now; I'm a Yankees fan, so this is the last book I ever thought I would be reading. However, being that Damon is now an established and respected Yankees player, I figured I'd give this book a read just to see what Damon was like when he was on "the other side," so to... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Miracle: Bobby Allison and the Saga of the Alabama Gang from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $2.82 Customer Review: This book tells the story of the the Allison family & the Alabama gang, how they came to be and how far a driver will go to become one of the best drivers in Nascar. Just reading the story of Bobby Allison will make you realize that other peolpe in this world have it tougher than you and fight... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Red Sox Nation: An Unexpurgated History Of The Red Sox from Triumph Books Price: $12.76 Customer Review: My dad, Sammy White played for the Red Sox 1949-1960, as a catcher. In this book the author says that my dad came up in 1952-1953, and was traded shortly thereafter. "Their two best talents from the farm system, Jimmy Piersall and Sammy White, were traded". Page 211. My dad was part of the "All... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Hank Aaron: Brave in Every Way from Sandpiper Price: $2.49 Customer Review: This is a nice book about Hank Aaron, the baseball player who broke Babe Ruth's home run record. It is also about an African-American man who managed to brake into Major League Baseball and endure threats from racist people who didn't like the fact he played. An inspiring story about overcoming... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Thunder And Lightning: A No-B.S. Hockey Memoir from Triumph Books (IL) Price: $7.75 Customer Review: Books from former hockey players bring the reader into a special sanctum. The culture of NHL, especially spanning the years of the Original 6, reads like a secret society of incredible fun, comeraderie and male bonding. Phil Esposito broke in with the Blackhawks, and skated alongside Bobby... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Wrigleyville: A Magical History Tour of the Chicago Cubs from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $36.88 Customer Review: this book was shipped to wrong address. I tried to reorder but was told there was no more copies available. I am supposed to have a credit on my account.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.	[no image]	Number 1 Billy Martin from Dell Publishing Co. Customer Review: Why isn't Billy Martin in the hall of fame? He was one of the best managers in the history of baseball. I can't imagine how great he would have been if Steinbrenner would have left him alone to do his job. You can see what a decent guy he was by reading his words.I can't believe he hasn't been... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Amazin': The Miraculous History of New York's Most Beloved Baseball Team from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $10.47 Customer Review: I love the Mets and Peter Golenbock's historic overview is perfect for baseball fanatics and casual game watchers alike. There is an anecdote for everyone !	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.	[no image]	Wild, High and Tight: The Life and Death of Billy Martin from St Martins Pr Price: $12.25 Customer Review: Billy Martin's life can be summed up quickly. Brilliance and tragedy. Which is a good recipe for a biography. Billy Martin could be the best manager in history to bring a sorry, downtrodden franchise and bring it to contention. Mike Schropshire chronicles this in the hilarious story of the 1972... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		No Fear: Ernie Irvan, The NASCAR Driver's Story of Tragedy & Triumph from Hyperion Price: $2.97 Customer Review: This book shows a great perspective of the ups and downs of a NASCAR driver and his life.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Balls from Pocket Price: $69.99 Customer Review: This book is written by the same author who did "The Bronx Zoo" with Sparky Lyle detailing the 1978 season. While that book had alot more humorous antedotes and background stories to it, Graig Nettles in "Balls" detailing the 1983 season with the NY Yankees just doesnt have the same "WOW" factor as... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
