The Beckham Experiment: How the World's Most Famous… door Grant Wahl
I enjoyed this book. I also found the information about MLS to be interesting and discouraging. Minimal player salaries, poor travel accommodations, etc.... Not sure what to think about Beckham. He has some talents to be sure, but he is not the world beater some think him to be. Ruud Gullitt takes a hit though. Good book overall by Wahl. Provides an interesting look into the MLS world.
I like the way Grant Wahl approached this book, from the perspective of the players. The more you read about how some players have to live on meager MLS salaries the more shocked you become...
