A review by danchibnall
The Soul of Baseball by Joe Posnanski

4.0

This was a fun book. I had admired Buck O'Neil for a long time, but I had never read a book about him. Posnanski did a nice job of capturing the essence of the man. He was more than just a ballplayer. He is a classic example of an incredibly kind human being. If anyone needs an example of what it means to turn the other cheek, look at Buck O'Neil. Despite being denied the chance to play in the majors for all those years, he was a happy, gracious man. Despite being treated as an inferior human being, he continued to live his life and enjoy his time with his wife and his friends. Even to the end he was a happy man. Let's learn from that.
