What's some good literature that deals with fitness and/or sports? All I'm aware of is pic related and Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon.

Fat City by Leonard Gardner, it's hands down the best book ever concerning boxing. It's especially refreshing because it defies the trend of the past 30+ years, of boxing as a form of redemption/escape/bettering yourself.

He was asking for literature, not just books. Moneyball falls far short of literature, I don't know about the others.
Another book idea: Malmud's The Natural. Nothing like the movie.
