Answer 3

I'm with you - Buck O'Neil.  I'm from Kansas City and he's a legend in that town.  I got the pleasure of meeting and talking a little bit of baseball with him at the N egro League Baseball Museum in 1996.  It was a sad day when it came back that he was one vote short of getting into Cooperstown with the group of other N egro League players in 2006.  But as Buck said "Now, if I'm a Hall of Famer to you, thats all right with me.... Don't weep for ol' Buck."  I wish I could be there when they unveil the life size statue of him in Cooperstown.
