Mick Foley "Have A Nice Day" gives a good insight on how he got started in wrestling. It is a pretty awesome read. By far one of the best autobiographys I ever read.

Anything by John Feinstein. All of his books are non-fiction sports books, covering all sports and different aspects of sports. Some of examples are:
Season on the Brink - about Bob Knight
Living on the Black - about Mike Mussina and Glavine in one season trying to score a World Series title
Last Dance: Behind the Scenes at the Final Four
The Punch - Kermit Washington punch on Rudy T (great book btw)
The Last Amatures - A look at the Patriot league in college hoops
A Civil War - Army vs Navy
I haven't read a bad book of his yet.

I've really just got back into reading sports books and am getting back into collecting as well.
I have to recommend:
The Blind Side - The Book is a football book through and through. Lots of football history. A really, really great read. I loved the movie, but loved the book even more.
A March to Madness: A View from the Floor in the Atlantic Coast Conference - John Feinstein - Great book about a season in the ACC
Mr Clutch, The Jerry West Story: Jerry West with Bill Libby - Written from a first person perspective by West, very candid.
Jerry West: The Life and Legend of a Basketball Icon - lots of good Jerry West history, but a lot of Laker's history too. Really a good basketball read.
