An award-winning sports columnist and a baseball legend tour the country to recapture the joys and wonders of Americas greatest pastime. n nWhen legendary Negro League player Buck ONeil 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 ONeil in hopes of rediscovering the love that first drew them to the game.n nThe Soul of Baseball is as much the story of Buck ONeil as it is the story of baseball. Driven by a relentless optimism and his two great passions--for Americas pastime and for jazz, Americas music--ONeil 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.n
