     Baseball has truly lost one of its greatest ambassadors and has never had a player with more integrity.  What's amazing about him is that after all the trial and tribulations he went through, not to mention being snubbed by the H.O.F. last year, he never seemed bitter when he had every reason to be very much so.  Johnny "Lefty" Washington is quite similar.  Buck simply enjoyed the game and is an excellent role model for all players.
