I always add

The Universal Baseball Association Inc., J. Henry Waugh Prop.

by Robert Coover

to these threads.

Dice driven board games have been largely overcome by video games, so the appeal of of this book written in 1968 is waning with younger readers.

APBAlcoholics can relate better to the foundation of Waugh’s obsession, but it is more than just another baseball book.

I reread it every twenty years.

Walter Johnson "Baseball's Big Train" by Henry Thomas. I'm currently reading a Ted Williams book titled "Hitter" by Ed Linn.

Everything mentioned in the posts above.

I would add the "Who's Who In The Major Leagues" annual series. These are like opening up a time warp into 1930s/40s baseball...pictures and bios, useful but not overwhelming stats, and excellent editorials...and dog-eared copies cost next to nothing.
