David Halberstam has written some outstanding sports nonfiction books. Three of my favorites from him:


The Amatuers, about Olympic rowers


The Teammates, about four members of the Boston Red Sox who maintain lifelong friendships

The Breaks of the Game, a season embedded with the Portland Trail Blazers in 1979-80.
