Ty Cobb by Charles Leershen is a great book.
Also a second book by Pat Jordan The Suitors of Spring.

The Game Must Go On by Klima is a great read about baseball during WWII.

As for fiction, I have a couple of suggestions if you can find them: Dugout Tycoon and Teenage Baseball Stories.

I don’t believe these have been mentioned:

Baseball in the Garden of Eden by John Thorn - probably the best work on the origins of baseball

The Catcher was a Spy - on Moe Berg, a more interesting man than a ball player.

The Summer of '49 and The Teammates are both good reads, by David Halberstam, as is The Education of a Coach, if you're looking to branch out into football.

Agree with everyone about "Glory of Their Times"My favorite baseball book that is non-biographical is "I'm Fascinated by Sacrifice Flys" by Kurkjian.It is easily my favorite about the game itself. Its not about Stats or cards but is highly recommended to all you guys.Funny title for an awesome book.

It's good to hear some praise about 'The Teammates.' My dad has a signed ball from the late 40s or early 50s Red Sox, and a buddy just recently told me about that book when we were talking about the ball. He mentioned that the book covers that era of the Sox. I need to track down a copy.
