At 93 years old Buck O’Neil, possibly baseball’s greatest ambassador of all time and former Negro League player, led Posnanski on a cross-country journey from New York to San Diego, Atlanta to Chicago to discover the soul of baseball. O’Neil had lived and played baseball during a time when African Americans were not welcome in the Major Leagues. But Buck wasn’t bitter and said that he was "right on time". His stories make up much of this wonderful book.
