This is esoteric, but I had a blast reading Where They Ain't. The title deceived me into thinking it would just be a history of the 19th century Baltimore Orioles club and their influence on baseball strategies, but it delves deeper much deeper into the various machinations of the contemporary baseball industry and really the contemporary society of America as a whole. Some parts exemplifying this include opinions on the 1896 presidential election by people of various classes, and the incorporation of Brooklyn into the City of New York at the end of the 19th century.
