Frank WakefieldPeace... As suggested, I liked Mr. James 1st Historical Abstract MUCH more than the updated version, which is a good book, too. And for a great read on the HOF, read his Politics of Glory from 1994, not the rewritten Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame.
Mr. Ritter's book is amazing, and we all owe a debt of gratitude to him. I have the book. The updated book, the 33 rpm lp, and that wonderful set of CDs. EVERYONE here who chases tobacco cards should get the CDs... listening to Mr. Ritter, and the ballplayers, it is like being a kid, staying up past bedtime, listening at the door of heaven, and hearing Davy Jones and Sam Crawford talk about Cobb and Johnson and Wagner...
ONE FINE BOOK for the fan of early 20th century baseball...
