Okay I'm no book reviewer but I'm about halfway through Mark Peavey's book: A History Of Baseball in the Deadball Era Vol. I and am really enjoying it. The narrative follows through the baseball seasons year by year with a lot of great stories and fun facts. Highly recommend picking up a copy, link provided for convenience.
