I agree with the previous 3 suggestions. The Celebrant is an amazing novel...
Not to put above, but to accompany, there's a book by a fellow named Fleming about the 1908 pennant race and season. He did a book about the 1934 season about the Gashouse Gang. I think it's The Unforgettable Season.
And there's a big coffee table sized book, Baseball, by Patten and McSpadden. It covers 1910 baseball amazingly well.
