I am disappointed this week that Buck O'Neil of Kansas City was not inducted into the Hall of Fame of baseball. Buck O'Neil was in the Negro Baseball League as a player and a manager for more than 17 years. Buck taught the people of the Kansas City metropolitan region about the importance of determination and resolve, sometimes in the face of hostility. Buck taught us about baseball; but more importantly, Buck taught us about life. He is a wonderful role model, and I thank him for his contributions to baseball, to the Kansas City metropolitan region, and to the United States of America. Buck O'Neil, you are a great American and a gentle man. You will always be a charter member of the Kansas City Hall of Fame.
