A haul of Hall books: Nap Lajoie to Ted Lyons

February 26, 2011

Intro: As previously stated, the recent election of Robert Alomar and Bert Blyleven got me to thinking: how many Hall of Famers have had books written about them or penned their own stories. Here are the results. Again, this is not an all-inclusive list; almost all juvenile titles have been omitted.

Nap Lajoie (Inducted 1937)
Amazingly, there are no stand-alone titles for Lajoie, one of the greatest players in the game.

Judge Kenesaw M. Landis (Executive, 1944)

Tommy Lasorda (Manager, 1997)

Tony Lazzeri (1991)

Bob Lemon (1976)
There are no titles for Lemon.

Buck Leonard (Negro Leagues, 1972)

Freddie Lindstrom (1976)
There are no titles for Lindstrom.

Pop Lloyd (Negro Leagues, 1977)

Ernie Lombardi (1986)
There are no titles for Lombardi.

Al Lopez (Manager, 1977)

Ted Lyons (1955)
There are no titles for Lyons.
