This was another excellent goodwill purchase. It tells the story of how the track stars, baseball players and other athletes broke a bunch of records in the 1990's and 2000's with steroids and then how they got caught. It's an entertaining story and there's a lesson in it.

Darryl Strawberry and the Boys of Crenshaw by Michael Sokolove (2004)
This was a goodwill pickup. It was great. Writing was good. Subject- Darryl Strawberry's 1979 Crenshaw High baseball team- was great. Why was that team so good? What are they up to now? Why hasn't Crenshaw High had a team to rival that one since? Not all of the questions are answered but they are all explored. read it!
