The best book I’ve read about baseball’s steroid era was Jose Canseco’s “Vindicated,” his follow up to the ground-breaking, tell-all tale “Juiced.” After all, who better to write a book about steroids than the man most associated with them? The best book I’ve read lately about battling one’s personal demons was SNL alum Darrell Hammond’s “God, If You’re Not Up There, I’m F*cked.” His was an honest, introspective, and gut-wrenching account of one man in the spotlight’s struggles with addiction.
