Bill Simmons Reading List
A few weeks ago on the of the Bill Simmons Podcast, they did an episode of the Sports Repodder where they talk about the best non-fiction sports books. The theist of the show is, if you want to write about sports, you need to read all the best sports books. I'll admit I have not read most of these books. My favorite sports books not on this list are Teammates, You Gotta Have Wa, and Ted Williams Hit List.
