Learning a bit about the game certainly focused my attention on certain players and highlights. Read Nemec's books about 19th century baseball. Then seeing the cards of the players you've read about will bring the game to life for you.

There are a lot of "firsts" you could focus on (first no hitter, the first triple crown winner) as well as all-time records (most strike outs in a season, most losses in a season).

I've got almost all of the American Association's top-ten players in both pitching and fielding categories.
