The Soul of Baseball by Joe Posnanski

5.0

Buck O'Neil is one of the most optimistic individuals I've ever read about in non-fiction works. A former Negro Leagues player and manager, O'Neill carried the stories and legends of those years around the country to fans and the curious. He'd constantly correct those who misunderstood what the Negro Leagues were like and tried to offer the wonders of the game, which reflects his true love for the national pastime. The book offers a great glimpse into a sport loved and loathed by Americans. I great read for fans and 'meh's alike.
