Sports Fiction Bestsellers

A few months ago a family member recommended that I listen to Calico Joe by John Grisham. He knew that I was a big baseball fan and thought I would enjoy this sports fiction story.
At first I was skeptical but decided to give it a shot. I really enjoyed it, and would recommend it to any baseball fan.
I also liked the way he told the story, and decided to see if there were any other sports fiction stories written by best-selling authors. Below are a short list of Sports Fiction Bestseller stories that I found and intend to read.
Any Baseball, Football, Basketball or Hockey suggestions are welcome.
