I've been thinking about that one so please pop back in when you're done!

I don't think I actually answered the OP when I seconded Lords of the Realm (which is a must-read for anyone with interest in cartel baseball).

My single favorite book that I re-read every couple of years is Veeck as in Wreck by Bill Veeck. Similarly I've re-read Ball Four by Jim Bouton multiple times and it's obviously a classic.

I need to re-read the Universal Baseball Association, I think first time through I misunderstood some of what was happening. It would be a pretty interesting movie if anyone ever went to the trouble to film it!
