Buck O’Neil was an ambassador not only to baseball’s Negro leagues, but to the human race. The man exuded optimism as he grew up and played great baseball in a segregated nation. I Was Right on Time tells the story of the Negro leagues through his eyes. Tales of Cool Papa Bell, Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, as well as O’Neil himself fill I Was Right on Time. It is a joy to read, as I’d imagine it would be to spend a moment in Buck O’Neil’s presence. Recommended By Jeffrey J., Powells.com
