Andy, Ted, and others, you have listed some books which I enjoyed immensely. I am currently reading Only the Ball Was White, a terrific read and better than The Glory of Their Times (which I enjoyed)IMHO, and can also recommend the following books I have read recently:
When the Giants Were Giants by Peter Williams, When Chicago Ruled Baseball by Bernard Weisberger, Autumn Glory by Louis Masur, Baseball's Greatest Season 1924 by Browning, The Year the Red Sox Won the World Series by Waterman and Springer, Where They Ain't by Burt Solomon and The Beer and Whiskey League by Nemec. All great pre-war books.
My 2 all-time favorites remain G.H. Fleming's The Unforgettable Season (1908) this is a MUST read and of course Eight Men Out by Asinof.
