“Catcher” by Peter Morris is one of my favorite books; it details the evolution of the position. A great period written book is “The History of the Boston Base Ball Club” by George Touhey (reprints are available).

It's been a long time since I read it, but I was really impressed with these:
Sol White's History of Colored Base Ball from 1907 tells about black baseball from the 1880s to 1907. I remember enjoying it very much. Sol White was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2006. Baseball: The Early Years by Harold Seymour. A little dry, but packed with some good content. Part of a 3 or 4 volume baseball history set. Last edited by bbnut; 11-03-2019 at 05:17 PM.
