Explain what you plan to read next and why

I plan to read the novel Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series because not only is it about baseball, but it's also about history and from the reviews that I have read actually teaches valuable morals to life. Some of these important morals include; greed, guilt, fame, cheating, and revenge which led to the ultimate punishment for a baseball player. Being banned for life. I feel that not only do these morals and themes teach valuable lessons in sports, but could be easily appiable to life in general. 

Another reason that I plan to read this book next is because it is a non-fiction book and earlier in the year one of my reading goals was to mix-up the genres that I read for this year, and this seems like a good point to add in a different genre. I feel like this would be an appropriate time for me to incorporate a non-fiction title into my independent reading because I recently took Best-Sellers class which all that we really read was fictional novels so I want to read something with a historical side, but something that could also be intriguing. Another reason that I want to read Eight Men Out is because I love novels about sports, and especially baseball, and also I am a really big history buff, and to me it is fun to read a piece that actually happend and wasn't just made up.
