Buck was one of Kansas City's best. He never earned a lot playing baseball but he still gave back to his community. He was working to help youngsters throughout KC until the day he died.
ReplyDeleteModern sports players would do well to learn a thing or two from him. It's a shame we have so many millionaire athletes in KC but most of them just care about their new cars or playing grab ass with their news weather girl groupies.
Why do we always forget that Babe Ruth was half black and really the first baseball player to integrate the major leagues?
ReplyDeleteI heard that he was maybe only quadroon or octoroon.
ReplyDeleteNext year we are going to watch them build the Negro Thug Museum in KC.
ReplyDeleteWho else is sick and tired of hearing about Buck Fucking O'Neill?? Jesus, enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a bit much when they sent his dead ass to the taxidermist and mounted his head in the Negro Baseball Museum, but that is what happens when you have a bunch of Watusis running things at 18th and Vine.
