Frank WakefieldFleming's book about 1908 is great. And it explains how the Merkle Boner situation developed in a game, and Evers talked with the umpire about it, so he had a plan when second base next went untouched. Fleming wrote a book about the 1934 season that is just as good. Wish he'd written half a dozen more. Both are on ABE, cheap. Search Fleming and Season. I know I keep pounding this nail through the plank, but a book like The Unforgetable Season helps you identify the players in 1908 who were in the public eye, which helps understand how T206 is composed, players, poses and all. Which 2 teams battled to the wire in 1908, Cubs and Giants. If you sort T206s by team which 2 teams have huge tall stacks? Cubs and Giants. Anyone enamored with T205, 6 or 7s, or T3s, should read that book.
