Hemingway wrote about bull fighting, skiing, fishing, cycling, horse riding, boxing, big game hunting and probably some more. And Murakami wrote about running.

read some classic sports-writing, I have this sick Jerome Holtzman (classic Chicago writer) book with all of these oral histories with older baseball writers. It's called 'No Cheering in the Press Box' and it's fucking awesome.
