A related book (really a collection of essays / articles he previously wrote) I enjoy reading periodically is Infinite Baseball by Noë. Noë is an analytic philosopher whose work deals largely with the nature of perception. He’s also a big baseball fan and has written quite a few articles for different sites on the intersection of the two. The first chapter describes how, in his view, baseball is really an infinite game. Even if you are not a baseball fan, I think the book is an interesting read. A lot of his observations are not about the sport itself and therefore does not require detailed knowledge of the sport. Instead, they are musings on how we engage with the sport and what we get out of the sport, and those ideas can be generalized to many other activities.
