I'd highly suggest "One Fall" by Spencer Baum. It's a fiction book, set in a wrestling world not unlike the Monday Night Wars. He follows an up and coming star, a dirt sheet writer, and the head honchos of the rival promotion. It's a thrilling read.
The Canvas by D.A. Murrell written by my best friend. Massive wrestling fan and spent years crafting the book and eventually released it. It's available on Kindle Unlimited if anybody wants to give it a shot. Worth the read.
It's not "renowned" per say, but a rarity of the genre.
Besides the one above, I could only find this:

Hey there, Phillies fan from Delaware here. I have a short baseball mystery novel, The San Diego Curse, free today on Amazon Kindle:
The San Diego Curse
Would love for you to check it out!
Whispers is probably my favorite, The Bad Place and Shattered were in the running too though. I like both but I prefer Koontz to King simply because King gets way too into his descriptions. Sometimes it's a good thing but too often it feels like filler. In The Shining when Danny fell under the snow drift it was perfect but some if the descriptions of the hotel itself got old really quickly.

Frank and Beans! :D Thanks for the contest!
NAH...but Amazon sucks and doesn't update shit. I liked the link with the picture...it's actually only like $2.99 on the kindle store. It's really really really good.
Donny-Brook by Frank Bill
It is a story about a white trash "hero" and a three day fight tournament held in the woods.
If you took away my baseball, you might as well take away my air, water, and food. I live, breathe, and eat the game... so much so I work part time for one of the clubs!
A favorite non-fiction book is Crazy '08 about the 1908 season if you like the history of the game.
Also Summer of '49, The Boys of Summer, The Glory of Their Times, and Eight Men Out
For fiction... you MUST read Shoeless Joe. The Natural, For Love of the Game, and Bang the Drum Slowly aren't bad either... I'm sure you've seen all the movies too.
THE BIG RED BUCKLE is the first in a series of hard-science fiction stories I've written which explore sport in the future. In this action packed science fiction adventure novelette humanity has survived environmental and atmospheric calamity and begun to move out into the stars. Sport still plays a vital role in our day-to-day affairs. THE BIG RED BUCKLE recounts an episode of a single-stage endurance race held between two shield volcanoes on a Mars that is slowly being terraformed. Participants must run and soar over 1,500 kilometers while the solar system watches.
DISPATCHES FROM THE FUTURE (B-LIST) is an ever expanding collection of short-fiction available on WattPadd. DISPATCHES FROM THE FUTURE (B-LIST) is a growing anthology of contemporary speculative fiction which touches on many topics. Even better, it's completely free. I add a new story to the collection about once a week. I believe short form fiction still has a place in modern fiction circles and I'm testing that hypothesis by dedicating time and effort in the development of a sizable collection.

Try reading a mother fucking book.

And a couple from Amazon.
Fact is I do have a lower self worth because I'm not built like the heroes in comics and comic movies. But that's anecdotal I guess.
