We remember Buck O'Neill (1911-2006)

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 6:54

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The great Buck O’Neill was born in Florida on this day in 1911. He died in 2006.

Most baseball fans were introduced to the late Buck O’Neill in Ken Burns’ baseball series. Buck related so many stories of the old Negro Leagues.

O’Neill was a pretty good player in the Negro Leagues’ greatest team, the Kansas City Monarchs.

O’Neill won’t get in the Hall of Fame because of stats. He did not hit titanic home runs like Josh Gibson or cut down batters like Satchel Paige.

Buck gets my vote because he became a wonderful ambassador for baseball with kids. For example, he came to Dallas and spoke to inner city kids about integrity, character, and even playing baseball for a living. It’s hard to think of a greater spokesman for the game than the late Buck O’Neill!

Let’s hope that the writers put him in next year!

I should add that baseball created The Buck O’Neill Award in 2008.
