Do you ever know something without knowing how you know it? You just know it. It just feels right. Like, of course.
For instance, I know one thing about Buck O'Neil.
He belongs in baseball's Hall of Fame.
But July 30, when Cooperstown opens its doors to 18 new members, O'Neil will not be among those honored.
Which is outrageous.
Sooner than later, the good folks at Cooperstown will get it right. They must. They have to know how badly their select committee botched Its work. Asked to elect representatives of the Negro leagues, the committee did the unthinkable if not the impossible. It named 16 men and a woman to the Hall of Fame without electing Buck O'Neil.
As brain-locks go, an all-timer.
