Book Log 2006 #7: Magic Time by W. P. Kinsella
More writing about the mystical power of baseball, though in a less literal way than Shoeless Joe or The Iowa Baseball Confederacy. A minor leaguer signs with a semi-pro team in a small Iowa town that apparently lives for baseball - and trying to match up players with their host family's unmarried daughters. Something smells fishy, and the main character spends the rest of the book trying to sort things out.
It's not bad, not quite up to the level of the books I mentioned above but a decent read. I think part of it ran in Sports Illustrated, so if the beginning seems familiar that may explain it.
