Using up Amazon credit- best baseball books?

[Matthew80]

Hey all,

I've recently gotten into the history of baseball and its players, and I'm looking to pick up some books today off Amazon (before sales tax starts tomorrow in CA raising prices).

I've only got about 5 or 6 right now. Any recommendations on good books about the history of baseball or biographies of its stars?

Any books to stay away from?

Thanks in advance for the help!
