Best Baseball Fiction Book Ever?

Posted By: Bob

I guess I am in the minority but having read The Iowa Basball Confederacy by Kinsella, I'd put it and Havana Heat both above the Celebrant and If I Never Get Back, two good books but not the top in the top three in my mind. Shoeless Joe by Kinsella (light years better than the movie, Field of Dreams) is still tops for me.

1. Shoeless Joe
2. The Iowa Baseball Confederacy
3. Havana Heat
4. If I Never Get Back
5. The Natural
6. Collected works of Ring Lardner
7. The collected series by Wilfred McCormick of Bronc Burnett books
8. The Celebrant
9. Blue Ruin
10. The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant (Damn Yankees based on this book)
