Best Sports Book

No, not sports betting, mind you. But books that are about sports, any type of sports and any aspects of sports. I've read some entertaining sports books (not going to list them because I would love to see who agree with me) and I'm going out of country for a long time so I need some English books to keep my English afloat and entertained.

Let us gogogo?

I think I read all of these when I was a kid. Like two a day one summer vacation.

Ball Four, Matthew Christopher reference was good too.

Michael Lewis' two books are great.
