In 2006, the first players from baseball's Negro Leagues, which sprung from the segregation era, were inducted into Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame.
But it wasn't until this month that the late Buck O'Neil and two other Black stars were enshrined.

Buck O'Neil was a great Ambassador of baseball, he was largely responsible for many of the past Negro League stars making it to the Baseball Hall of Fame. By getting Major League Baseball (MLB) to recognize their accomplishments in the Negro Leagues and what they did in the Majors. He is a Kansas City Legend & now Hall of Famer himself. Great share PO1 William "Chip" Nagel ..!
