The Underground Baseball Encyclopedia: Baseball Stuff You Never Needed To Know And Can Certainly Live Without by Robert Schnakenberg (2010)This book is hilarious and great. What else can I say about a book that has entries on Strat-O-Matic Baseball and Jack Kerouac?
Sample entry on Ty Cobb: "Crabby, bigoted Hall of Famer who carved out a well-deserved reputation as one of the game's archetypal bastards. An unreconstructed racist of the old-school Southern variety, the so-called Georgia Peach set a standard for villainy that no player of his magnitude has ever quite matched."
