Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: new. From the author of Baseball 100A fascinating account of a man who outlasted the ignorance of a nation and persevered to become a beloved figure.One of the best baseball books in years, filled with depth style and clarity." -Cleveland Plain DealerAn award-winning sports columnist and a baseball legend tour the country to recapture the joys and wonders of two of Americas greatest pastimesWhen legendary Negro League player Buck ONeil asked sports columnist Joe Posnanski how he fell in love with baseball, that simple question eventually led the pair on a cross-country quest to recapture the love that first drew them to the game. Baseball & Jazz recounts their emotional quest to find the heart of Americas beloved sport that still beats despite the scandal-ridden, steroid-shooting, money hungry athletes who currently seem to define the sport. At its heart is the story of 94-year-old Buck ONeil-a man that truly played for the love of the game. After an impressive career in the Negro Baseball Leagues in which he earned two hitting titles and one championship, ONeil made baseball history by becoming the first African-American coach in major league baseball. Posnanski writes about that love and the one thing that ONeil cherishes almost as much as baseball: jazz. This heartwarming and insightful journey is an endearing step back in time to the days when the crack of a bat and the smokey notes of a midnight jam session were the sounds that brought the most joy to a mans heart.
