I liked Art of FIelding (impressive for a debut novel). The Moby Dick references throughout will make you want to read that masterpiece as well - it's great!

The Bronx Zoo, by Sparky Lyle and Peter Golenbock

You Gotta Have Wa is a classic for both baseball fans and Japanophiles. I got my grad degree from the same university in Tokyo as did the author.

and, this just came out...

Full Count: The Education of a Pitcher

David Cone w/ Jack Curry

Thanks for the fine list.  I'm sure that I'll read a few.

I was surprised that Bill James' books didn't make it.  The Historical Abstract was very, and probably would still be, entertaining.  I thought his books on pitchers, managers, and the Hall of Fame were good too but they might seem dated, given the amount of time that has elapsed and changes, in both the game and in sabermetrics, since the books were originally written. 

James still puts his name on annual handbooks but they don't seem to have as much text and analysis, as opposed to page after page of raw numbers.  And I am not buying his books to crunch raw numbers myself.

That's a great list. You've inspired me to hit the library and read another baseball book.

One omission is Ernie Harwell. He put together several compendiums of baseball anecdotes and short stories and all of them are fantastic. They really read like the stories Ernie told between pitches during those long summer nights at Tiger Stadium. You can still hear his voice.

There's another, somewhat odd, book on the 1908 season I'd throw out there: G. H. Fleming's The Unforgettable Season.

No narrative, just a collage of newspaper articles. But it's stuck with me like no other baseball book; it really gives the flavor of what it was like to be a baseball fan in the dead-ball era.

God, I used to love this game. 

Nothing brought back great childhood memories more than seeing the author Matt Christopher listed.

Not a big baseball fan, but this book was a fun read. 

One Shot at Forever: A Small Town, an Unlikely Coach, and a Magical Baseball Season by Chris Ballard

Title says it all.  But the true story of an Illinois baseball team that kind of mirrors the basketball Hoosiers plot lines (loosely). 

Gone With The Wind--Bucky Dent

The Glory of Their Times was, by far, the best baseball book I have ever read.  With all the Tigers books on your list, I am surprised Sparky Anderson's book, "Bless You, Boys," didn't make your list.

The Long Season And Pennant Race by Jim Brosnan.
