What is Reddit's opinion of The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I'd like to take the Buck O'Neil approach to things. Linking a book on him I absolutely adore and makes me blubber like a baby reading

Ascribing malice is more directly a commentary of ourselves, and not necessarily emblematic of reality. Maybe it was a mom getting a call that her mother went to the ER and is now on a hospital bed in surgery. Maybe it was a new mom who's water just broke and was freaking out. Maybe it was a homeless person who wasn't even shopping and was attempting to steal a cart and a customer caught him/her and reminded them it was wrong.

Joe Posnanski, one of the best sportswriters in America, used to spend a lot of time around Buck O’Neil before Buck passed.

Buck was an incredible ballplayer himself who was also instrumental in the creation of the Negro Leagues Museum in Kansas City, and in the induction of many Negro League greats into the Hall of Fame.

Joe wrote a book about Buck and the Negro Leagues: The Soul of Baseball. It remains my favorite baseball book of all time. Can’t recommend it enough.

Posthumously, Buck O'Neil was inducted in the national baseball hall of fame this past summer. It was about 14 years+ overdue.

"I don't worry about the past. I was right on time."

Now, Buck was a simple, warm-spirited man who had an outrageous impact on the sport of baseball (he actually coached Jackie Robinson, who crossed the color barrier and changed pro sports forever, later himself, Buck would go on to scout/manage in the MLB and is widely considered one of the most amazing ambassadors of the game).

In the late 2000's, MLB recognized it had left out the Negro Leagues as part of America's baseball story and posthumously inducted over a half a dozen of its biggest stars.

Who gave that speech? None other than Buck O'Neil.

No book has led to more tears/appreciation upon recommendation, man/woman, baseball lover or baseball ignorant, than Joe Posnanski's wonderful "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neils America."

Reading it, you will laugh, you will cry, and at some point will make a point to try and be a better person. You don't need to know about/care about baseball whatsoever. This is real American oral history that will push you to be a better person.

I'm sure you've read "The Soul of Baseball" but if you haven't, you should.
