For a more modern answer, this has always been a favorite. Anything from Joe Posnanski.

Roger Angell, another great, though an oldie.

Bill James' early work essentially invented and popularized sabermetrics, though none of it stands out on literary merit per se.

And then of course this. The list goes on and on.

I don't know. Baseball is a game of people, and moments, and history and wonderment. Giamatti captures only part of the story: heartbreak.

Still somewhat active, though.

*So weird how those words are interchangeable in that context
