buckweaver Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 ...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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDsDirtySox Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
