world series & other fall sports books worth reading...?

I really can't think of a good book about just a World Series other than the 1919. Plenty of good chapters. Stuff I never knew. In the 2nd volume of Norman Macht's brilliant biography of Connie Mack, he tells of the 1929 WS and Game One. The legend always says that Mack played a "hunch". Instead of starting George Earnshaw or Bob Grove in Game One, he ran out Howard Ehmke. Ehmke was about 600 years old and had only pitched in three games since the end of July. Well, Methuselah Ehmke struck out 13 Cubs and effectively ended the series right there. Some hunch, right? Ehmke hadn't pitched because he was secretly following the Cubs around as a scout. He knew the lineup better than Joe McCarthy. And he played another trick. McCarthy asked Mack if he minded if his coach, Joe Tinker watched the A's batting practice. mack said sure. Then told his pitchers to throw pitches in the hot zones of the mighty A's hitter and the batter to whiff pitifully. So Tinker went back to Chicago with tales of how Jimmie Foxx couldn't hit this pitch and Black Mickey Cochrane couldn't hit this. So the Cubs pitchers threw this to Foxx and that to Cochrane and got cricks in their necks watching the baseballs leave the park.

This doesn't have shit to do with shit other than to remind you to read the Mack bio.
