– THE BOY WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
A gem in which you will learn the story of a boy who in his previous life was a Major League player. Yes, it would seem like a fictional story, but it is not. This book was written by Cathy Byrd, mother of little Christian, who without being close to baseball (much less having access to information) told him about the experiences she had in MLB in the 1920s and 1930s, where she built great rivalries, among others, with Babe Ruth.

– MY YEARS WITH THE YANKEES
This title should be read by everyone who calls himself a ‘Yankees Fan’. In this book, Joe Torre narrates the experience he lived in 12 seasons as manager of the team with the most titles in the Major Leagues, and explains what he had to do to successfully lead a squad that had, among other players, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada, Alex Rodriguez, Randy Johnson.

– JUICED (Dopado)
An extremely controversial book but one that uncovered an open secret in the Major Leagues: the use of steroids. The Cuban former baseball player, José Canseco, wrote this text in 2005 and there he narrated his experience in baseball but not only as a player, but as one of the protagonists of the ‘Era of Steroids’. There he presents names of players who used prohibited substances with the consent of coaches, managers and even the MLB office. This book helped, in large part, to clean up baseball.
