The Soul of Baseball by Joe Posnanski
4.0
I first heard the author on a radio interview last year talking about Buck O'Neil and have been wanting to read it ever since.
The book brings back some really vivid baseball memories. Especially in a time where we are dealing with temperatures in the teens (well some of us are) it feels great being put in that setting: green grass, hot sun, lazy fly balls.
What makes this book different than others though is learning about Buck O'Neil and the positive attitude he has about EVERYTHING. He was one of those people who you would meet and he would always have a smile and a story. The little nuggets of wisdom taken from this book can make each of us a better person, or at the least live with a happier outlook on life. Reading about people like Buck, gives us all someone to strive to be like when we catch ourselves not at our best.
