The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America

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.

Mary and O'Neil

A luminous work of fiction that celebrates the uncommon in common lives, and the redemptive power of love.

Mary and O'Neil frequently marveled at how, of all the lives they might have led, they had somehow found this one together. When they met at the Philadelphia high school where they'd come to teach, each had suffered a profound loss that had not healed. How likely was it that they could learn to trust, much less love, again?

In Justin Cronin's tender, heartwise debut, eight stories trace the lives of these two vulnerable young people as they rediscover in each other a world alive with promise and hope.

From the formative experiences of their early adulthood to marriage, parenthood, and beyond, each chapter illuminates the moments of grace that enable Mary and O'Neil to make peace with the deep emotional legacies that haunt them: the sudden, mysterious death of O'Neil's parents, Mary's long-ago decision to end a pregnancy, O'Neil's sister's battle with illness and a troubled marriage.

Like the work of Alice Hoffman, Cronin's fiction resonates with magical nuance and unexpected encounters -- a beautiful young girl who appears to Mary one night, draped in a cloud of stars; an autistic child who reveals a life-changing secret; a woman O'Neil mistakenly dials the night their first child is born -- that edify this young couple's intimate bond and affirm their faith in the future.

Melissa O'Neil

In what may be the strongest release yet from the Canadian Idol talent competition, 17-year-old Calgarian Melissa O'Neil has put together a collection of rock-heavy pop destined to bring forth comparisons her to American Idol counterpart, Kelly Clarkson, with similarities in their broad vocal ranges, as well as in their looks and song styles. Not bad company to keep, and Canada's first female Idol should embrace such praise. O'Neil's fusion of straight up rock and pop also evokes thoughts of fellow Canadians Bif Naked and Avril Lavigne, virtually guaranteeing her an enthusiastic teenage audience. That said, she has a strength and edge all her own; her vocal delivery on the dramatic tracks "Just Like January" and "Driving Blind" shows a confidence and conviction worthy of a far more seasoned performer. With the right songs and the pipes to back them up, O'Neil's appeal could go well beyond the teen audience, and her rapidly growing fan base seems to indicate that many Canadians are already on board. If this new Idol continues to find her own, unique sound, and doesn't get pushed into a fluffy pop mould, she could--and should--break through to the American market.
