In John "Buck" O'Neil, THE ROOKIE, HIS WORDS, HIS VOICE updated and expanded, we revisit the legend's first summer with the Kansas City Monarchs. Utilizing interviews, historic photographs, and actual voice recordings from interviews with O'Neil, you read and hear from a master storyteller as he discusses the Negro American League and its importance as an integral part of the American baseball landscape. Much more than a book about baseball, this publication is a unique oral history, presented for the first time, in O'Neil's authentic voice.
