I've recently finished reading a book called "Odd Man Out". It's about a former minor league left-handed pitcher named Matt McCarthy.
He tells his experiences from a year in Rookie ball with the Angels Organization.
Fascinating book, with a few cringe moments. Of course you have to look past the language as well.
Sports Illustrated did an excerpt from the book that gives the "flavor" of the story, if you want a cleaner version.
Probably the best baseball I've read since "Moneyball" by Michael Lewis (and no I didn't bother reading the steroid accounts of Mr. Canseco and Mr. Bonds).
