Buck O'Neil, 1911-2006

Negro Leagues legend and 2006 Kansas City St. Patrick's Day Parade honorary grand marshal John "Buck" O'Neil passed away last night here in Kansas City.

It's a very sad and tremendous loss for our city, for baseball, and every one of us who was lucky enough to have crossed paths with him.

Rest in peace, Buck.
