Buck O’Neil dead

Negro League star player, and historian, Buck O’Neil is dead at 94.

Now’s the change for Bud (Light) Selig and Major League Baseball to right a serious wrong from earlier this summer.

MLB ought to do like the Hall of Fame did for Clemente and Gehrig, and use this as an excuse to immediately vote him in. His resume includes Negro League batting champ and title winner as a manager, major league eagle-eye scout and the historian’s role brought to the attention of the larger baseball world in Ken Burns’ “Baseball.”
