A fiction book, that is about the best baseball fiction ever written, is The Celebrant. I've read You Know Me All, If I Never Get Back, Bang The Drum Slowly, Shoeless Joe... all good books. I think The Celebrant exceeds them, it covers Mathewson's time, I really enjoyed it.
To really understand why there are 2 leagues in the majors, and lots of good background stuff on why the game is as it is, read July 2, 1903: The Mysterious Death of Hall-Of-Famer Big Ed Delahanty, by Mike Sowell. He also wrote The Pitch That Killed, another good read. A fine author. Mr. Ritter's book is tops. Fleming wrote a book (The Unforgettable Season) about the 1908 season that I thought better than Crazy '08's. Last edited by FrankWakefield; 01-02-2011 at 12:21 PM.
