A haul of Hall books: Ben Taylor to Bill Veeck

March 27, 2011 · 2 comments

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.

“When the Giants were Giants” by Peter Williams is essentially a Bill Terry bio.

Perhaps, but I was going strictly by title/subject in my searches.
