I have all the books mentioned so far in this thread, and they're all worthy. Here are a few that have not yet been mentioned, but which are also excellent candidates. I'm assuming that "the SABR era" starts in 1971, the year SABR was founded.
Baseball When The Grass Was Real -- Donald Honig
Baseball As I Have Known It -- Fred Lieb
A Game of Inches -- Peter Morris (if we're including reference works)
Crazy '08 -- Cait Murphy
The Pitch That Killed -- Mike Sowell
Shoeless Joe -- W. P. Kinsella (if we're including fiction)
The Great American Novel -- Phillip Roth (ditto)
