Buck O'Neil, Negro League baseball great, dies at 94
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Buck O'Neil, the goodwill ambassador for the Negro Leagues who fell one vote shy of the Hall of Fame, died Friday night. He was 94.
Bob Kendrick, marketing director for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, said O'Neil died at a Kansas City hospital.
A star in the Negro Leagues who barnstormed with Satchel Paige, O'Neil later became the first black coach in the majors. Baseball was his life -- in July, he batted in a minor league All-Star game.
I hope the one ASSHOLE that didn't vote for Buck O'Neil is happy now.

Really sad news... I feared the worst when I heard he was in the hospital...
After watching Ken Burns' Baseball countless times (I have the DVD set), I was so impressed by his affability and positive attitude amidst the segregation at the time he played baseball... A fascinating and special human being.

That one judge probably had no idea of the historical significance of Buck O'Neil's importance in the overall history of baseball. Just have to pity that judge.
Thank you Mr. Buck O'Neil!!!! May Buck O'Neil Rest In Peace.
