A haul of Hall books: Hal Newhouser to Kirby Puckett

March 5, 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.

Kid Nichols (1949)
There are not titles for Nichols.

Satchel Paige (1971)

Jim Palmer (1990)

Herb Pennock (1994)
There are no titles about Pennock.

Tony Perez (2000)
There are no titles about Perez, but he’s a staple about books on the Big Red Machine era of the early- to mid-1970s.

There are no titles about Plank.
