Review

"A moving elegy for both the Negro Leagues and one of the game's biggest personalities."

Publisher's note

An award-winning sports columnist documents his cross-country travels at the side of Negro Leagues champion Buck O'Neil, a journey during which the pair sought to recapture their love of the game, remembered O'Neil's history-making career, and explored the numerous challenges that the sport has overcome, from racism to steroid scandals.

Annotation

The pure joy of baseball as it was played in days gone by is recaptured in this on-the-road account by sports journalist Joe Posnanski, who traveled across America with the most positive, most knowledgeable, and perhaps oldest ambassador of good will, the legendary Buck O'Neil. Together they visit major American cities, meeting up with great players of the past, including Willie Mays, and stopping at small sandlot fields and major stadiums. Along the way, O'Neil shares his remembrances of baseball in general (he seems to have known everyone) and life on and off the field in the Negro Baseball League in particular. An advocate for his fellow players, O'Neil, unfortunately, was denied a place in baseball's Hall of Fame (by a single vote), He died in 2006 at the age of 94.
