There is a wonderful photo scan on golfdigest.com right now of the 16,000 volume golf book collection of Alastair Johnston, Exec. VP of IMG. The Gigapan photos allow you to actually get up close to each volume to read titles.

Does anyone out there have a baseball library this size?

I've been downsizing my library with respect to the post-Grobani years, so my collection is considerable smaller. At its peak, it was probably about 3000 or so. I suspect that there are more baseball books published each year than golf, and trying to accumulate all titles published would drive one crazy.
