Favorite Baseball literature?

Not biographies on players or books on stats, but literature which has baseball as a central theme like Shoeless Joe Comes to Iowa, Ball Four, or The Natural.

    honus and me. a story about a kid who meets honus wagner who came from the past. it is great literature because it brings back the spirit of old baseball with all the origionals. it is easy for us to forget why we play the game, but this book brings us back to the good old times.

    You should check out Screwball by David Ferrell. Its centered around the Boston Red Sox and this stud ace they have come up threw their farm system. Its a fiction thriller about a serial killer who fallows the team around and beheads people left and right. Its a good book but I dont want to give away anything.
