I like all of these books, but a couple of fictional ones I have really enjoyed are:
I loved Sparky Lyles book - The Year I owned the Yankees. Ridiculous, stupid totally absurd, and funny as hell.

The Curious Case of Sidd Finch is also a classic along the same lines
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...glance&s=books
Former big leaguer Jim Bouton best known for Ball Four (also a must read) wrote Strike Zone - funny, intelligent, good fun
