The Soul of Baseball
A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America
Joe Posnanski
Take a journey through America's pastime with The Soul of Baseball. Renowned sports columnist Joe Posnanski spends the 2005 season touring the country with legendary Negro League player Buck O'Neil. Buck's relentless optimism, passion for jazz and baseball, and dedication to playing solely for love are inspiring. Posnanski offers uplifting life lessons from a truly extraordinary man, a salve for the damaged spirit created by greedy, steroid-enhanced athletes that have infiltrated professional ball.

I just reread @JPosnanski’s “Buck book” and it’s still fantastic. Like a meditation in resilience and optimism. If you’ve never read it, you probably should. – source
