Francona: The Red Sox Years by Dan Shaughnessy, Terry Francona

Ah, Tito.
Hey, I enjoyed this one. For all that it ends on a bad note (the Red Sox lose, Tito "resigns"), it's also this goofy look into life in a major league baseball clubhouse. It's weird. I'm sure you live that way long enough and it makes you weird too. Throw in lots of money, lots of pressure, and - for most of these guys - 9 months with very few days off, and suddenly divorce and arrest rates among professional athletes make slightly more sense.
But more importantly, when Pedey won the AL MVP award, Tito bought him a powder blue Vespa with a personalized pink helmet. And Pedey drove it to work. The end. :)
