SABR puts out really good books on particular teams (one of the above posts mentions the 1935 Tigers book). These have extensive bios on every single member of the team including coaches and chapters on their ballparks, significant games and break downs of the season. They've done a bunch of them so far and I have these in my library:
The Team That Forever Changed Baseball and America: The 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers
Bridging Two Dynasties: The 1947 New York Yankees
Scandal on the South Side: The 1919 Chicago White Sox
Who's On First: Replacement Players in World War II
Van Lingle Mungo: The Man, The Song, The Players
Winning on the North Side: The 1929 Chicago Cubs
The 1934 St. Louis Cardinals: The World Champion Gas House Gang
