    Three is so difficult. So I am going to post three and then think of 10 others. But on the spur of the moment, I'll go with:

    1) Heaven is a Playground, Rich Telander
    2) The Natural, Bernard Malamud
    3) Friday Night Lights, Buzz Bissenger

    I reserve my right to change my mind in 3 minutes.
