Heart of a Tiger is by far the best book I've read about Ty Cobb. It's highly recommended.

Leafing through any of the books that highlight all of the old (and usually long gone) stadiums with stories, run-downs, anecdotes, photographs, insider knowledge, etc., is a phenomenal ways to spend your time!!

Off the top of my head, these titles come to mind (and there are undoubtedly many more), and the more of them you have the merrier:

Lost Ballparks
America's Classic Ballparks
Ballparks: Yesterday & Today
Ballparks Then and Now
Ballparks

“I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice.”
Casey Stengel

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
