Great Baseball Books

With the end of the baseball season, what better way to pass the time during the 'hot-stove league' (off-season) than with some great baseball writing. Here are a dozen terrific books on baseball in the early 20th century. I hesitate to say 'Top Ten' because there are many good ones out there. This list is a mix of books of different types and genres, and they are complementary to each. Taken together, they would make a great start to a baseball library. Those that are out of print are often available on www.ebay.com or www.abebooks.com
