I think the Jane Leavy biographies are excellent - she has ones on Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and Sandy Koufax - Golenbock's oral history of the Brooklyn Dodgers, John Thorn's book on 19th century baseball. The best book on cards I've read is "The Card," although if you've been in the hobby a while you'll probably be familiar with most of it. Interested in others' recommendations.
