James's book, originally titled "The Politics of Glory" is a must read for its information about the institutional history of the Hall of Fame as well as explanations and discussions of who should be in and who should not. Very interesting reading. My favorite line is in the first chapter. "Alexander Cleland, an employee of Cooperstown's wealthiest patron had an idea...He knew that the village...held some vague claim to being the birthplace of baseball. His idea was that Cooperstown...could assemble a collection of baseball artifacts which might draw hundreds of visitors a year." HUNDREDS OF VISITORS. LOL
