Daniel Okrent's "Ultimate Baseball Book" is my suggestion. Countless hours of fascination and fun are to be had within its' confines, I think this is the one that best fits your description.
EDIT: Just like Ken Burns' PBS documentary "Baseball" (which came many years later), "The Ultimate Baseball Book" is divided into innings.
First Inning was my first full panoramic view of baseball in the 19th Century and it just hypnotized me, the game back then looks alien to me and it evolved at a very quick pace.
In 1891 the game became practically identical to how it looks today, when the pitchers' mound was moved back from 50 to 60.6 feet from the plate. After that, everything else has basically been tweaks.
