Heart of the Game by S.L. Price
The story of Mike Coolbaugh, who was the guy that was hit by a line drive while coaching first base for the Tulsa Drillers, and was practically killed instantly.
A baseball book, but very much a human interest story, highlighting Mike and his life through baseball, and highlighting the batter, Tino Sanchez who hit the line drive. An incredible touching story, especially toward the end when Mike's family meets Tino in person.
I mostly read minor league books, as I enjoy the stories of players and their struggles to make it to the show. Currently reading Slouching Toward Fargo, which was written in 1999, about the St. Paul Saints who are owned by Bill Murray and Bill Veeck, and it was referred to me by Veeck via an email when I reached out to him years ago.
