Baseball Reading

Recommended Posts

...two MLB topics specifically...

1. Steroid Scandal.

I would like to see a timeline beginning at the beginning (when was that?), discussing use; spread; when it became a "look

the other way" deal; how much managers, GMs, owners knew and when...going through the Mitchell Report; the '03

testing...up to current standards/testing; comparing MLBs stance to other pro sports...then looking to the future.

 

2. Inner Workings of a MLB Front Office

I would like a better understanding of the paperwork, how trades go down, the roles/responsibilities/nuances of the

business side of baseball, including the roles of agents and the MLB players union.

 

I'd appreciate suggestions on either/both...documents, books, websites...any and all. Thanks.

Moneyball can probably help you a little here.

Moneyball is a must read for any baseball fan.

 

Another good book I would suggest is...

 

Getting into the game: Inside Baseball's Winter Meetings.

By: Josh Lewin

Focus is more on the Minor League side of baseball... but a great look at inner workings non the less.

Just a great book about people trying to get a job in baseball.
