re: Your Favorite Non-Fiction sports books of all time

The Bad Guys Won - a book about the '86 Mets basically outlining how big of pieces of shite many of the players on that team were. Drugs, whores, fighting!
The Bronx is Burning - Not solely a "sports book", but it focuses on the dysfunctional, but good, 1977 Yankees at a time when NYC was a complete shite-hole. There were buildings falling down and/or burning everyday; a massive blackout which spurred a wild crime-filled night; the Son of Sam
I'm not even a New York baseball fan, but both books are interesting because they go into the off-the-field stuff. The on-field crap is boring.

Bronx is burning sounds like my kind of read...I love books that weave the history of the times into the narrative.
