    I've mainly only read baseball autobiographies but I'm looking to read some more good ones, any sport really.

    I've read ones by Mike Piazza, Jackie Robinson, both of Jose Canseco's, Josh Hamilton.

    I've also read Moneyball, The Bad Guys Won, and lots of other baseball biographies and fiction, so if you have any good sports biographies or fiction feel free to recommend those too. Preferably ones I can get on Kindle would be great. Legally or otherwise.

    Thanks guys :)

    I don't know if you'd count it as sports but Chris Jericho's books are a good read.

    Don't know if it counts as an AB but the 30 for 30 on Bo Jackson is down right inspiring.
