When legendary Negro League player Buck O'Neil asked Joe Posnanski how he fell in love with baseball, the renowned sports columnist was inspired by the question. He decided to spend the 2005 baseball season touring the country with the ninety-four-year-old O'Neil in hopes of rediscovering the love that first drew them to the game.The Soul of Baseball is as much the story of Buck O'Neil as it is the story of baseball. Driven by a relentless optimism and his two great passions—for America's pastime and for jazz, America's music—O'Neil played solely for love. In an era when greedy, steroid-enhanced athletes have come to characterize professional ball, Posnanski offers a salve for the damaged spirit: the uplifting life lessons of a truly extraordinary man who never missed an opportunity to enjoy and love life.

PDF The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America with Free EASY Reading!

This is a fun read, no matter how much you know or remembered about Buck O'Neil. This is essentially (as it advertises) a shorter version of what you'd read if you were to purchase O'Neil's "I Was Right On Time"-- much of O'Neil's characteristic wit and wisdom is captured very well in this book. It doesn't hurt, either, that Posnanski own wit and writing style overlap, and it made it easier, I believe, for him to write this book in the "narrative road trip" style that he did. O'Neil's voice and speaking style echoed in my mind over and over again as I read. I'm sure you would hear it in this book, as well, if you heard him tell his stories.I fell in love with O'Neil when I heard him on Ken Burns' documentary, and I've sought to read more and learn more about the Negro Leagues and its players ever since. I learned some new details about O'Neil's story in the book and remembered other ones as I read. In particular, reading about the momentum to get the Negro Leagues Museum open and his own satisfaction that Negro League players were finally inducted into the Hall of Fame was very moving-- as was his own (and others') reaction to not being included on the list of HOF inductees. Posnanski related those event well and shared his own disappointment (which I and many others share) when O'Neil was passed over for the Hall. Posnanski does the same throughout the book, which makes it an enjoyable read.I'm sure the reader will notice that if he or she has read O'Neil's story in his own book, that reader will not learn new information here. If you have, do not expect new information. Rather, you'd enjoy it if you wish to hear O'Neil tell those stories "all over again for the first time" in the road trip narration as the two make their way across the country. That is what made this book worthwhile and entertaining for me. If, on the other hand, you are new to learning about O'Neil, you will learn them in O'Neil's fun and compelling way, and engage him and Posnanski as they travel on their road trip! If you purchase this book, I believe you'll find it as engaging as I did. Enjoy the ride! :)
