- Two acknowledged giants of our national pastime are being inducted this week into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.: Bud Fowler, the first African-American player in professional baseball beginning in the 1870s; and John Jordan "Buck" O'Neil Jr., a Negro Leagues player and manager who later scouted and coached in the majors, and co-founded the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. Correspondent Mark Whitaker reports on two legends being entered into the temple of baseball.

Buck O’Neill represents all that is right and good about baseball. And more importantly the human race.
Buck O'Neill was such a great player and human being. I first heard of Buck was thru Ken Burns Baseball and he was the whole show in my opinion. RIP Mr. O'Neill
i'm 40 years younger than him but incapable of looking that good in a suit.
Long overdue recognition, finally received
I met Mr O’Neil at a baseball card show and got him to sign his book - fantastic man who was very humble and super nice. He asked me about my life and where I was from. Truly a class act.
Buck O'Neill A True Legend
Buck O’Neil finally arrives home.❤️
A story of grace and humility! Thank you for your part in the history of baseball, Buck!
Long overdue...congrats Buck O'Neill and Dodger great Gil Hodges.....
I visited the HOF in 2009 for three whole days and still couldn't see everything. The immensity of artifacts and history are overwhelming in a good way.
What a waste of your time.
@@lewstone5430 Hey, Lew... Get stuffed.
How did they not put him in 2006 when they had him induct the other inductees (that had all passed) the HOF for baseball should be ashamed of themselves for that! Congratulations for getting in now and all the other inductees
Buck O'Neil. Watch Ken Burns' documentary "Baseball", the book "The Soul of Baseball" and his autobiography "I Was Right on Time". You'll finish with a smile on your face.
nice of ken to elevate buck o'neil. it's the least he could after painting ty cobb as a scumbag.
I love baseball and I love this story. Very heartwarming. It’s about time Cooperstown play all nine endings on a level playing field. A great day in baseball. God bless these old timers and God bless baseball.
So glad for Buck O’Neil and his family! I can see em up in heaven with that iconic smile of his!
Me too! Very happy ✅️ now. "Such a Gentleman!" Mr. Buck Oneal! Well deserved 👏🏼 I was still living in KC when he passed over.
If you watch Ken Burn’s BASEBALL documentary, they talk about Fowler & how the owners decided to block black players. The Hall is slow to do the right thing but they are getting there.
I knew of Buck O'Neill for many years, but didn't know much about him. But the Ken Burns documentary allowed me - and all of America - to get to know what a great player he was and what an even better man. I was heartbroken when he was passed over in 2006, and it still breaks my heart that he did not live to see his induction in the Hall of Fame.
The recognition is long overdue for these athletes. Their descendants must be proud. Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐.
Thank you Folks . God bless 🙌
Those two deserve to be in the baseball ⚾️ hall of Fame. 😀👍⚾️
Buck. A National Treasure.😢 & 😃
Oh man. What a ham! Glad to see the man finally get his due! 👍
Interesting to read the comments. The story was about this year's induction class, and everyone says it's about Buck O'Neill. And I couldn't agree more.
To recall a quote from a great sports movie, “you’re always a Hall of Famer in my book!”
Bob Kendrick has one of my favorite podcasts. Black Diamonds.
Thanks for this story!
Buck O'Neil was one of the kindest, most humble Christian man that anyone could know. I'm glad he could look on from above and see his induction. To say it was long overdue is the understatement of the century.
Thanks for sharing. Glad to see Buck finally inducted. Bob Kendrick was right, he had a way of lifting your spirits whenever you were around him. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular
What a fabulous little segment
At last
I'm fighting back tears
About time!!!!!!!!!!
I don't watch baseball, but I admire the skill and focus the game requires.
Class act
way over do for buck o neill class act great story teller
If he ain't in heaven no one is. To be so void of bitterness considering the circumstances in which he was born is a testament to how good Buck was. Anyone would be rightfully perturbed at their rotten luck but not Buck. We should all learn from his example.
Nice but the reporter needs to learn how to correctly pronounce, Minnie "Minoso."
Was this a case of it was too embarrassing to put him in all these many years because of having not already done this when he was still alive? Maybe. But either way, he was already inducted in the court of public opinion. He was a Hall of Famer whether he was actually inducted or not.
Glad they finally got it done, though, maybe this way a whole other generation of youngsters get to find out about him and his service to the game.
My dad always like Tookie Gilbert lol
As a life long Kansas Citian I am a litter bitter Buck didn't get to make his speech back in 2006 as a National Hall of Famer, long overdual
Where's the due that is owed to Thurman Munson, Graig Nettles, Elston Howard and Don Mattingly?
Where is LUIS TIANT !!!
Buck should’ve been the first black to manage in the Major Leagues. In the early 1960’s the Cubs implemented their infamous College of Coaches scheme of rotating managers O’Neill was not one of them. In my opinion he should’ve been given the chance. He couldn’t of done any worse than those who did the rotating management.
buck way way way over do. RIP Buck

I wouldn't want to be a part of any Hall of Fame that has to form a special committee to realize my value. 🙄
African people are in America to entertain us and handle the drudgery of our lives
Uh-huh 😘
Ya they’re def trying to make up for past sins.
Black people were here playing baseball before most of U immigrated to this country
Naw.
@@lewstone5430 Yup
"no, I wouldn't say it's an effort to make up for past sins" "No, it's an effort to make sure everybody gets a fair shake as a way of making up for past sins" What a bozo answer
Boooo to the president of the hall of fame. You just blew an opportunity to say the truth...yes this action should make up for past sins. C'mon!

Yes, they are making up for past sins.
63 yrs of segregation...if we were there from the beginning, there would be less Caucasian players and more black players. Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb would be basic if Josh Gibson was allowed in💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
It is to redeem from the past sins who is this man fooling?
