I have an old friend who likes SF but does not like fantasy. He's also a major baseball fan. I loaned him _The Face in the Frost_. When he got to the sequence where the wizard's spell included "S is for Smead Jolley, the only major league player to make four errors off a single batted ball" he spluttered "Oh my God! Smead Jolley! You don't know..." After finishing the book he concluded "I still don't like fantasy! But I like John Bellairs!"

Awesome! I'm trying to get my husband into fantasy. I took George R.R. Martin's "Game of Thrones" out of the library for him as it is sort of eases in the fantastical elements of the story. So far it's working.
And now I have another re-read to add to the TBR list - The Face in the Frost
I think I'll bump it up to the top of the list, though, it would really suit my mood right now.
