- Castro's Curveball by Tim Wendel
- Escape from Castro's Cuba by Tim Wendel
- Lord Bart and the Leagues of SIP and ALE by Michael Barbato-Dunn (also a forum member)
- The Art of Fielding: A Novel by Chad Harbach
- Cactus League by Emily Nemens
- The Great American Novel by Philip Roth
- Fat City by Leonard Gardner
- Red or Dead by David Peace
- Bear Town by Frederick Backman
If you start your search with one of the above books, you should find related books that don't delve into the shirtless man on cover realm.

Thanks for these suggestions. I have three of them already but I will be looking at the rest!
