Andy-

I read Thomas Dyja's Play For A Kingdom when it came out. Per the Amazon review, "a Union company from Brooklyn encounters an Alabama company while on picket duty after the Battle of the Wilderness (May, 1864) and proceeds to challenge them to a series of baseball games before all hell breaks loose in Spottsylvania." The baseball scenes aren't as compelling as the battles, but I'd definitely recommend the book.
