My favorite of all time is the New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract. It's really good: very well written, and very well researched, with lots of interesting things that don't always get told.
The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book is a great one too. It and the Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract were the two books that introduced me to the older players. I've read both of them many times since I was nine or so.

Get your hands on: "Crazy '08" by Cait Murphy. It's all about the wild 1908 Baseball pennant race & features great stories on many of the faces you see on T206.

+1. I'll add "The Catcher was a Spy: The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg" and "Hal Chase: The Defiant Life and Turbulent Times of Baseball's Biggest Crook".
