If you want an excellent book that will make you think about sports, I recommend 'Taboo: Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We Are Afraid to Talk About It' -- it's getting hard to find, but it raises real questions about the underlying assumptions involved in race, sports, and how we organize competition.
good call. Read that one a while back and it's certainly worth the read.

I assume you mean The Boys of Summer, by Roger Kahn.
It is really good.
Prepare your collective anuses. I'll try to remember to make a list when I can get in front of my bookshelves tonight.

The greatest baseball book I've ever read was The Glory of Their Times.
Then try A Game of Brawl and/or Rowdy Richard.
