Buck O'Neil 1911-2006
Buck O'Neil has passed away....meaning the world has lost one of the nicest men and a great baseball ambassador. If not for O'Neil, the history of the Negro Leagues and the paths that the black ballplayers walked down would just be washed away and forgotten.
Earlier this year, Mr. O'Neil gave a speech at the Hall of Fame to introduce former Negro League players into the Hall....a place that he wasn't invited to join. That is a shame, as if any person deserves to be placed among the greatest men of baseeball, it is Mr. O'Neil. The world has lost a great man and baseball lost a huge chunk of it's past. Baseball missed the chance to honor this man....and that is a shame.
