Fans and Congress are outraged over Buck O'Neil's exclusion from the Hall of Fame      
3/01/06, 7:39pm
     Buck O'Neil is one of the all-time greats from the Negro Leagues and he's also one of the best ambassadors that the game has ever known.  He mentored several current Hall of Famers, especially Ernie Banks and Lou Brock.  It boggles my mind as to how he has been kept away from Cooperstown all these years.  Minnie Minoso's exclusion is also a mystery to me.  No disrespect to the Negro Leaguers who made it in, but in all honesty, I've never heard of most of them.  Hopefully, baseball will correct this injustice soon.
