I just finished The Card by O”Keefe and Thompson. It was excellent. Also, Satchel by Larry Tye.

The Glory of Their Times would likely win most polls on this topic.
The Celebrant, though fiction, is very well done. Shoeless Joe (the book behind Field of Dreams) is outstanding IMO

Books
Glory of their times was hands down the best baseball book I’ve read
Really enjoyed the celebrant as well for a unique flavor on what baseball would have been like in the 1900’s Looking forward to getting some additional suggestions here as well!

More about baseball cards.
Never Cheaper By The Dozen by fellow member Brian Powell Unfortunately it is not available in actual book form. I know you can get a CD or a Kindle edition. I highly recommend it.
