This will be of particular interest to niccincoogol.

The Mrs. and I will be attending a reception with Negro League great Buck O'Neil. I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet one of the last living legends of the Negro Leagues. I will post here on Monday about this meeting.

If anyone has any questions you would like me to ask Mr. O'Neil, post here before Sunday Morning and I will do my best to relay them.

Everyone have a great weekend, and GO YANKS!!!!

Yank-

I'd like you to ask him about Josh Gibson--how he would have fared in today's game and what he'd be WORTH today....

Thanks..

Cool

Considering Gibson would be almost 92-years-old, I don't think he'd hit over .250, with 20 home runs.

Haven't been to the site in a long time. How did the meeting with Buck O'Neil go? I've seen him a number of times in and around KC speaking. He's unbelievable. What a living legend. You think you've heard great baseball stories before, but hearing what he went through and his anecdotes are fantastic. Gimmee deets on that meeting last Dec.
