John Kalafarski You guys have listed many of my favorites. I have the tapes of "The Glory of their Times," which is a must have for all you T206 nuts.
I'd also like to mention another must have: The Miley Collection of complete old radio games. I have many of them: however, one not to miss is the complete 1949 World Series with Mel Allen & Red Barber doing the play-by-play (Red was the best baseball radio guy of all time--if you don't believe me, listen to these). Another great Miley game is the 1941 All-Star Game with Detroit announcer Ty Tyson and Ted Williams' blast to end the contest. By the way, the sound quality on these is wonderful.
Raresportsfilms has many old world series games on DVD and tape. The 1948 World Series one is excellent (the huge crowds!).
A new book I just finished is "Two Ton," the story of the Joe Louis-Two Ton Tony Galento fight. A great read (only 208 pages): they don't make 'em like that anymore!
