Default Condition Worsens for Negro Leagues Legend

Posted By: Judge Dred (Fred)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Sept. 29) - Negro leagues great Buck O'Neil took a turn for the worse late Thursday but was resting comfortably in a Kansas City hospital Friday, friends said.

The 94-year-old O'Neil was admitted to the hospital Sept. 17 with extreme fatigue. O'Neil, one of the driving forces in the creation of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, has lost his voice and can only whisper.

Bob Kendrick, marketing director for the Negro Leagues Museum in Kansas City, said Friday that since O'Neil took a turn for the worse Thursday night there had been no change in his condition.

"The last report I got was that he was still very much aware of what's going on around him," Kendrick said. "We hope that remains the same and the outlook will be good."

A former Negro leagues batting champion and player-manager with the Kansas City Monarchs, O'Neil holds many distinctions in his long career. In February, he fell one vote short of induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

ONE VOTE....

Lets hope for a recovery and an induction while he's alive.

I thought the HOF did not release vote counts from the Negro League election.

Damn you Bud Selig for not admitting Buck in to the Hall now while he is still alive. Selig has the authority but not the intelligence to make the decision.
