Message #3877 of 6634  *NEW* To :   All From :   Jaydawg   Subject :   At age 94, former Negro Leaguer Buck O'Neil becomes the oldest pro to take an at-bat in the Northern League's All-Star game Date :   7/18/06, 8:30pm It was great that O'Neil was given this great tribute, especially after being snubbed from Cooperstown earlier this year. Being a two-time Negro league batting champion is enough proof that he's one of the all-time greats. From the article, I found out that he discovered and signed Lou Brock when he was a scout, which is a great feat all by itself. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #3877 • Back to Topics 1747 reads 1558 clickthrough(s) You cannot start a topic in the Headlines or Classifieds area... if you want to post a new message, try one of our other message areas!
