SynopsisFrom Babe Ruth to Bo Jackson, from Cool Papa Bell to Lou Brock, Buck O'Neil has seen it all. As a first baseman and then manager of the legendary Kansas City Monarchs, O'Neil witnessed the heyday of the Negro leagues and their ultimate demise. In I Was Right on Time, he charmingly recalls his days as a ballplayer and as an African-American in a racially divided country. Whether he's telling of his barnstorming days with the likes of Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson or the day in 1962 when he became the first African-American coach in the major leagues, O'Neil takes us on a trip not only through baseball's past but through America's as well., An eye-opening biography of baseball legend Buck O'Neil, first baseman and then manager of the Kansas City Monarchs, who witnessed the heyday of the Negro leagues and their ultimate demise.

Outstanding book on life and the negro baseball league!
what a eye opening book! well written and compelling and even society sad at some points. This book should be made into a movie.. After reading this book, i bought an autograghed buck baseball and was going to KC to the negro baseball hall of fame to meet him. Unfortunetly he passed before i could make this happen.. I feel i missed out meeting an outstanding human being.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
