Here's a few more, Frank.
1903 Autumn Glory: Baseball's First World Series by Louis Masur - read it several years ago and remember liking it. Haven't read either of the Delehanty books mentioned in this thread so can't compare.
1906 When Chicago Ruled Baseball: The Cubs-White Sox World Series of 1906 by Bernard Weisberger - read it last year and enjoyed it.
1912 The First Fall Classic: The Red Sox, Giants and the Cast of Players, Pugs and Politicos who Reinvented the World Series in 1912 (whew) by Mike Vaccaro - didn't like it as much as I wanted to, being a 1912 WS buff. Thought the author over-reached outside his story too much in his attempt to draw the WS into the context of the day. Terrific dust jacket photo of Joe Wood and Jeff Tesreau.
1919 - Gotta be a definitive book of the Black Sox story but don't know it. I liked Eight Men Out but understand it came under a lot of scrutiny for inaccuracies.
1927 - Likewise, gotta be something about the '27 Yankees and then they should make a Ben Hur epic of it. Billy Crystal, are you reading this?
1955 The Boys of Summer by Roger Kahn - duh!
