I'm just curious... who are some of the pre-war and post-war players you would love to read about?

I used to visit my dad in New York when I was a young kid, from Florida, and during the summer I hung out at the library reading sports books.
Moe Bergs was one of the first one I read, loved it.
My dad bought me 'Eight Men Out' and that's still one of my favorites.
I tend to go with the vintage baseball books that took place around the turn of the 20 century.
Oddly, I'm a diehard Red Sox fan but my dad got me 'The Bronx Zoo' when it came out and I loved. I became a huge Sparky Lyle fan.
These days, I'd like to read a book about 1960's baseball- a well done book about the whole decade, not just Mays/Mantle stuff that's been done to death.
