Grandma's House

People, a major injustice has occurred in the world of baseball. 17 people from the Negro Leagues and pre-Negro Leagues were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, but that's not the injustice part. The injustice is that Buck O'Neil was not one of them. If not for Buck O'Neil, those other seventeen people wouldn't have even been considered.

While his statistics during a long career as a player and player/manager were not the greatest, he won two Negro League batting titles, had a successful career as a player/manager with the Kansas City Monarchs and become the first black coach in the major leagues.

Most importantly, everyone thought, were the contributions he's made traveling the country keeping the legacy of black baseball alive.

He has been the face, voice and inspiration behind Kansas City's Negro Leagues Museum.

Now I'd like someone to explain to me why he was left out. This is just wrong.
