Buck O'Neil recalls his first season as a Kansas City Monarch

Negro Leagues historian Phil Dixon has a new book about the legendary baseball player and ambassador. It allows readers to hear excerpts of recorded interviews with Buck O'Neil.
Buck O'Neil is an icon in the baseball world. Whether it's his time with the Kansas City Monarchs, making history as the first Black coach in Major League Baseball or his role in establishing the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, his accomplishments seem endless.

In "John 'Buck' O'Neil: The Rookie, His Words, His Voice," Phil Dixon revisits the first year of O'Neil's tenure with the Monarchs. Dixon hopes the book generates even more interest in the history of the Negro Leagues and Black baseball.
