Athlete Bios and Autobios (books).

->> So a friend who works at Laguna Seca let me borrow Moto GP star Valentino Rossi's autobio "What If I Had Never Tried It" and it is really good.

I have, but yet to read, Jim Otto's book.

What other really good sports bios and autobios are out there that I can add to my summer reading?

Thanks,

~ nic

->> In the Rossi vein, and to give some history/context of bike Grand Prix racing (before it changed its name to MotoGP), Wayne Rainey, His own story and Techniques of Motor Cycle Road Racing by Kenny Roberts (although the latter is billed as a "how to" book, it's more of a biography than an instructional manual).

I have both (and a whole bunch of other racer biographies and autobiographies) - let me know if you want to borrow any.
