One book that I really enjoyed was 'When Boston Won the World Series', by Bob Ryan. And I will second Denny's suggestion, 'The Old Ball Game' was a great read.
And thanks for the other suggestions everyone. The last thing I needed to do today was add more books to my reading list, but it appears I'll be doing just that
Regards,
Richard.
Edited to add: A book that recently appeared on my radar, but that I have not yet purchased: 'The First Fall Classic' by Mike Vaccaro
