The Glory of Their Times and The Boys of Summer are the two books directly responsible for me becoming very interested in the history of baseball. I read both of them when I was about 13 and they have stuck with me for a long, long time now.

Paul, that is one fine letter. I wrote Mr. Ritter about 7 years ago, hoping to get his autograph, but I got no reply. Great article, David.
It seems to me that a collector of our dear old cards must read The Glory of Their Times, I love the source of the title, and the "How dear to my heart" verse at the beginning of a couple of the chapters. We all owe Mr. Ritter a debt of gratitude. What a book!!!

I agree with all regarding the excellence of the book, plus if you haven't had a chance to listen to the audio interviews that Mr. Ritter recorded during his research, it is something you should definitely do.
There are about 5 hours of audio with this cd set. RC
