I would add Ball Four, or at least the introduction/first chapter, to the reading list as an illustration of what it used to be like. Jim Bouton was literally putting on his uniform at the beginning of his rookie year and they put a contract in front of him and said “Here’s your contract; you have to sign it before you go out there.” He went out and won 18 games and they tried to do the same thing the next year.
