Buck O'Neil at the bat

by Bob Timmermann

Buck O'Neil, age 94, managed to get two trips to the plate in the Northern League All-Star Game in Kansas City.

O'Neil was given an intentional walk by each team. He was traded after the end of the first inning, so he could play for both teams.

It is a debatable point about whether or not he was a HOFer but if the Negro Leagues has a patron saint, it's Buck O'Neil. That's enough for me. Give the man a plaque.
