My vote would go to Buck O'Neil -
Player, coach Negro league and he was named the first black coach in the major leagues, scout, also his efforts with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. O'Neil was a member of HOF Veterans Committee helped get Negro league players into the hall for years. Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and have awards named after him. He had fallen short in the Hall of Fame vote in 2006, but I would like see Buck get another chance to be voted on for his lifetime given to the game of baseball. He will always have a fan in me!!!
