I Was Right On Time by David Conrads, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Surely, baseball is the most American of all professional sports. Still, there was a time when "a gentleman's agreement" kept black players out of a sport that was perceived as being a white game, and only allowed them to display their talents in the Negro League. Buck O'Neil was one of the great stars of the Negro League, and in the inspiring I Was Right on Time; he tells how he made the journey from the Negro League to the Majors. Rich in anecdotes and good humour, this is a gifted storyteller's revisitation of the past, and a book that recalls a lost era. | I Was Right On Time by David Conrads, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
