Leitch’s non-fiction books are rooted in his life as a sports fan. Life as a Loser (2005) is a memoir about growing up in Mattoon, Illinois, and the role sports played in his small-town upbringing. God Save the Fan (2008) takes a wider view of American sports culture, looking at how fans relate to teams and athletes.
Are We Winning? (2010) is built around a single Cardinals game that Leitch attends with his father. The book uses innings as chapters and mixes game action with stories about family, fandom, and growing up. It is one of the better baseball memoirs of its decade.
