A keyword search for baseball pulled up more than 230 results. Naturally, some are spurious, perhaps containing the word in the document in passing, but there are several great old titles to be had, including, among many other classics,
- Touching Second: The Science of Baseball by John J. Evers
- Scientific Baseball, by John McGraw
- How to Play Baseball, by Connie Mack
- Pitching in a Pinch: Or Baseball from the Inside, by Christy Mathewson
- Out of My League, by George Plimpton
- baseball fiction by Lester Chadwick and Zane Grey
It’s certainly worth a few minutes to see what’s available and you can’t beat the price.
