Last night, one of the greatest men to have ever participated in baseball, passed away at the age of 94. That man is Buck O’Neil. He died less than a year after the Baseball Hall of Fame committed an egregious error by not enshrining him with other baseball greats. I can’t possibly due justice in describing just how great a baseball man Buck was. Check out Ken Burns’ “Baseball”, visit the Negro League Museum, and maybe you will have a hint of how great he was the game.
