After 2 years of hard-work and tears, I finally managed to tell my story of my once-in-a-lifetime journey across North America. My friend Dusan and I spent 66 days covering the entire continent with the goal of seeing every MLB team play in their home stadiums. It was an incredibly massive undertaking that neither of us were prepared for. Enjoy our uncensored story through the United States. I wanted to deliver the most accurate version of my story as I could. I believe that I covered everything, the good and bad. All the booze, cans of cold food, discount hotels and nights sleeping in the car. It was a life changing experience. Over 66 days, we covered more than 35000 kms, had 4 oil changes, and 30 baseball games. Aside from baseball, we explored everything the country had to offer, from Roswell to the Grand Canyon, and all the way to the beaches of Miami. I hope you enjoy this book, because this journey changed my life.

When legendary Negro League player Buck O'Neil 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 O'Neil in hopes of rediscovering the love that first drew them to the game. The Soul of Baseball is as much the story of Buck O'Neil as it is the story of baseball. Driven by a relentless optimism and his two great passions—for America's pastime and for jazz, America's music—O'Neil 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.
