There's also a great piece on Steve Blass by Roger Angell, which appears in his book Five Seasons. But I can't find an internet link for it.

Anybody who hasn't tried Clifton Parker's (our own hackwilson) might enjoy his "Fouled Away: The Baseball Tragedy of Hack Wilson" and "Big and Little Poison: Paul and Lloyd Waner, Baseball Brothers." Both shed a lot of insight on how the game was played in the '20s and '30s.
