Serious post, my friends. Best baseball book? I used to say "Three Nights In August" by Tony LaRussa, or Kahn's "Boys of Summer." Tony's book for my greatest love about baseball--dugout strategy. Kahn's book for pure classic writing about baseball.
Now reading Tony's "One Last Srike." With 100 pages left, I suspect my award will likely go to "Boys of Summer." Not a current list read, but one of the best pieces of sportswriting I've ever seen. Could read it many times over.
