RIP Buck
By DOUG TUCKER
AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Buck O’Neil, the goodwill ambassador for the Negro Leagues who fell one vote shy of the Hall of Fame, died Friday night. He was 94.
Bob Kendrick, marketing director for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, said O’Neil died at a Kansas City hospital.
A star in the Negro Leagues who barnstormed with Satchel Paige, O’Neil later became the first black coach in the majors. Baseball was his life — in July, he batted in a minor league All-Star game.
O’Neil had appeared strong until early August, when he was hospitalized for what was described as “fatigue.” He was released a few days later, but readmitted on Sept. 17. Friends said that he had lost his voice along with his strength. No cause of death was immediately given.
Always projecting warmth, wit and a sunny optimism that sometimes seemed surprising for a man who lived in a climate of racial injustice for so long, O’Neil remained remarkably vigorous well into his 90s. He became as big a star as the Negro League greats whose stories he traveled the country to tell.
He would be in New York taping the “Late Show With David Letterman” one day, then back home on the golf course the next day shooting his age, a feat he first accomplished at 75.

Are you Lost?
I’m…dazed. For a period of time, I was obsessed with Lost. Read message boards, pieced together clues and analyzed theories. Now, there’s the mini-season. This season opener was the first of six new weekly episodes that will air before “Lost” takes a hiatus until February, when it will continue without a break through May.
I thought I was on the wrong channel when the show opened - LOL! A book club? Then we got all the flashbacks that revealed…what? That Jack is stubborn? Wow! What a shocker! (not!)
Daughter started talking about making her Halloween costume, and I found my interest in fabric discussion more enthralling than creepy HenBen (although he is deliciously evil - LOL)
Did anyone else get a KateRape vibe? Is Juliet a subversive? Subversive to the subversives? Are the Others abandoned Dharmaites or renegades? So what does it all mean? Do I even care any more? I dunno. I just wish I could fix my damned blog template to take the spider web background I was able to get on the Blogger version and the header wasn’t offset in Firefox LOL
I ‘m gonna go Squid…. I wrote an e-book on it - LOL
