I just finished The Card by O”Keefe and Thompson. It was excellent. Also, Satchel by Larry Tye.

The Glory of Their Times would likely win most polls on this topic.
The Celebrant, though fiction, is very well done. Shoeless Joe (the book behind Field of Dreams) is outstanding IMO

Glory of their times was hands down the best baseball book I’ve read
Really enjoyed the celebrant as well for a unique flavor on what baseball would have been like in the 1900’s Looking forward to getting some additional suggestions here as well!

The Black Prince of Baseball- Donald Dewey and Nicholas Acocella
The Boys of Summer- as mentioned, can't miss 59 in '84: Old Hoss Radbourn, Barehanded Baseball, and the Greatest Season a Pitcher Ever Had - Edward Achorn All excellent! Trent King
