Title: Sports Biographies Post by: novemberparadise23 on August 31, 2010, 11:38:11 PM I have been reading a great biography on Roberto Clemente for the past few days. Do any of you have any good baseball or football biographies that you would suggest?
Title: Re: Sports Biographies Post by: Falcon on October 08, 2010, 12:13:37 PM Whitey Herzog's bio, "The White Rat" is great.
Fascinating stories from his time coming up in the Yankee chain and his relationship with Casey Stengel to rebuilding the Cards in the early 80's..

I mentioned only football and baseball but i love tennis as well, so i will check out the aggasi book as well. I just read the torre book after the clemente one. Its a great look on his yankee years
