Haven't seen this one mentioned yet. I found it fascinating and filled with a lot of behind the scenes anecdotes that I was totally unfamiliar with.
Lords Of the Realm: The Real History Of Baseball, by Lawrence Helyar.

I like any book by Bill James, but I've read "The Politics of Glory" (reissued as "Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame?") at least eight times.

Another vote for Glory Of Their Times. And was happy to see Summer of '49 mentioned, what a great book the truly puts you inside the great pennant race between The Yankees & Red Sox.
A few I recommend but haven't seen mentioned yet are: I Had a Hammer by Hank Aaron Closer by Mariano Rivera Lefty by Verona Gomez and Lawrence Goldstone

I always add
The Universal Baseball Association Inc., J. Henry Waugh Prop. by Robert Coover to these threads. Dice driven board games have been largely overcome by video games, so the appeal of of this book written in 1968 is waning with younger readers. APBAlcoholics can relate better to the foundation of Waugh’s obsession, but it is more than just another baseball book. I reread it every twenty years  .
