Anyone who appreciates good writing, especially about sports, will want to check out Scott Simon's Home and Away: Memoir of a Fan. Simon brings alive the teams that have made Chicago great, both in his time growing up in the city and during his years traveling the world as a journalist (his section on the support for the Chicago Bulls during the Yugoslav conflict is a refreshing look at how sport transcends cultural differences and has the potential to unite us). Best of all, if you have listened to Simon on Weekend Edition, you can hear his voice as you read.
