Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider 1964-10-01 00:00:00 by David Halberstam. Recommended by 1 sources.
“Halberstam reconstructs the 1964 World Series with close, scene-driven reporting, interweaving game recaps and player vignettes that evoke the atmosphere of midcentury baseball. The book's useful part is its rich period detail and feel for clubhouse personalities, which reward readers who enjoy narrative immersion and play-by-play color. Its main limitation is pacing: lengthy descriptive passages and repeated game minutiae pile up, so readers seeking concise synthesis, modern context, or a brisk historical take may find it slow and occasionally repetitive.”
