Reddit reviews Ball Four: Twentieth Anniversary Edition

Ball Four by Jim Bouton is exactly what you're looking for.

[Ball Four] (https://www.amazon.com/Ball-Four-Anniversary-Jim-Bouton/dp/0020306652/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525455284&sr=8-1&keywords=ball+four) is probably the best baseball book ever, and as a bonus it's mostly about the Pilots only season in Seattle. [The Cheater's Guide to Baseball] (https://www.amazon.com/Cheaters-Guide-Baseball-Derek-Zumsteg/dp/0618551131/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525455314&sr=1-1&keywords=cheaters+guide+to+baseball&dpID=51%252BzPBmMilL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch) is also excellent, and has a ton of fun stories about teams going to great lengths to cheat. And for a fictional baseball book, [Shoeless Joe] (https://www.amazon.com/Shoeless-Joe-W-P-Kinsella/dp/0395957737/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525455369&sr=1-1&keywords=shoeless+joe&dpID=5176oWc2vXL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch) (the book Field of Dreams is based on) is outstanding.
