The fans speak out.(Letter to the Editor)
I was wondering if you could provide me an address where I can reach Buck O'Neill, the great Negro League player. It would be greatly appreciated.
Larry Feigh
Clearfield, Pa.
O'Neill is a director of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. You can contact him through the museum by calling (816) 221-1920. The museum's address is 1616 E. 18th St., Kansas City, MO 64108.
Now 94, Buck starred for the Kansas City Monarchs when they won four consecutive Negro American League pennants from 1939 through 1942. He was a smooth-fielding first baseman.
After serving with the Navy in a construction battalion during World War II, he returned to the Monarchs in 1946, winning the Negro American League batting title with a .353 average and leading his club to another pennant.
During his time as a scout for the Chicago Cubs, he helped sign Ernie Banks and Lou Brock. He also coached for the Cubs.
