Lou: Fifty Years of Kicking Dirt, Playing Hard, and… door Lou Piniella
Many people don't like "as told to" memoirs by sports figures, but this book doesn't read like one of those. Piniella's voice comes through loud and clear, but is supplemented by interviews and research clearly done by his co-author, Bill Madden. I've been fascinated by Piniella since he played for the short-lived Seattle Pilots in the late 1960s. Yes, Lou has a temper, but he also has a heart. He is opinionated but some of his opinions will surprise readers, like his defense of Alex Rodriguez.
