Favorite baseball book? Card or historical focused.

[thatkidfromjerrymaguire]

I've read a lot of the books mentioned and don't really have anything new to add. Any time I buy a "big" card for my collection, I try to read a biography about the player (Ruth, Mays, Mantle, Jackie, etc.). I find that it brings greater enjoyment of the new card.

So along those lines, I think "The Big Fella" (Jane Levy's book about Babe Ruth) might have been my favorite. I read it once and now I'm halfway through it for a second read through. I think Jane's writing style might be polarizing...some like her books, some really seem to dislike them, but I like the way she tells a story (as another post or two above mention, she has written about Mantle and Koufax as well).
