A fine book. A fine baseball book. The author travels with Buck O'Neil, a former player in the Negro Baseball League. Buck is 94 years old during this year and is propoting the Negro Baseball Museum and getting former Negro baseball players in th Hall of Fame. The book is packed with baseball stories and anecdotes about the famous and obscure; Satchel Paige, Mays, Monte Irvin, Jackie Robinson, Earl Wilson, Enos Slaughter, PeeWee Reese, Horace Stoneham and Cool Papa Bell. The book captures rhe idiosyncratic magic of baseball as no other has. It rivals The Boys of Summer and The Final Season as a great baseball book.
