Welcome to the Hall

Andre Dawson, Whitey Herzog, and umpire Doug Harvey. While Dawson and Herzog have both published autobios/memoirs, I hope Harvey does so soon.

Here are just a few titles that reflect some aspect of the National pastime’s ultimate showplace:

There are several coffee table books that illustrate the many holdings of the Cooperstown museum. This is one of the most recent.
One of those books that seeks to point out the flaws in the selection system. Here’s my interview with the author.
Another collection of photos based on exhibited pieces.
An analysis, broken down by various categories. From McFarland, so you know someone has done a lot of research, whether it’s necessary or not. Remember, you can’t spell “analysis” without “anal.”
Several thoughtful essays by one of the masters of the baseball performance analysis.
See my review here.
See the Chafets book.
