CZzyzx41 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 How interesting. The two guys who're still alive, and maybe more deserving than most of those elected, aren't seleceted, including the one man that's been the face and voice of the Negro Leagues for decades. Great that they're getting more negro league people in, but sad it wasn't Buck's year. Maybe they're just waiting for them to die. How sad. Well, there's always next year, and Buck seems to be taking this with a lot of grace and honor so he'll get his. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

Swiss Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Effa Manley, first woman ever to be elected to the HOF?And the ladies of the Woman League? I thought there were already some ladies elected to the HOF... It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 It's a shame they left Buck O'neill off.His contibutions to the game far outweigh some that are on taht list. Agreed. Listening to him speak is one of the best parts of any documentary dealing with the Negro Leagues.

ROCHitman Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 From what I heard, this was their only shot at the HOF. I don't ebleive this committee makes these nominations every year. It was a one time deal.Buck's gonna go to his grave knwoing he's not in the hall. TRAGIC. Owner of Kalamazoo Tech Kobras (Nat'l College Fant. Assc.

Swiss Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ahhh... the good ole Buck... I trully enjoyed him listening the Ken Burns' Baseball...And his numbers are too good... I never understand why he isn't in the HOF already time ago...Is the HOF Committee waiting his death to induce him in???

NJTank Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Thats whats so puzzling about him being left off and is he bitter?No hes got grace and class and said he will speak on behalf any of the 17 players at the induction ceremony. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 No they do add a player or two from the Negro leagues each year. Guys like Pop Lloyd, Cool Papa Bell, Bullet Rogan, Oscar Charleston, Turkey Stearnes and others have already made the Hall. I assume Buck will have his time. One other big omission was Wild Bill Wright. He wasn't even on the 39 man list I think. That man also deserves to go in. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!
