Great person , and even better life , when I saw harold break down like that I felt that

Thanks everyone, for letting me know that I wasn't the only one crying his eyes out at this

When Harold Reynolds broke down thinking about the passing of this great soul, a part of me felt that way, too. Shows you the difference one man can make to so many lives. An awesome human being, by any measure. Just a shame that life has to be like a book. For every beginning, you know there's got to be an ending...🇺🇸🇵🇷🗽🦂⚾️😊

Mr. Morales you may be right. But I think when Mr. Kendrick was discussing forgiveness Mr. Reynolds thought not just about Buck O'Neil, but about his own issues involving allegations of sexual misconduct while with ESPN. He was terminated, filed suit, and received a settlement from ESPN. I think that he was dealing with some internal strife that he has held in from his experience with ESPN. It may have been the realization about what an outstanding human being O'Neil was and his own challenges dealing with how he was treated and his inability to let those feelings go. Then again, I don't know how many of us could be as compassionate and forgiving as O'Neil.

Growing up in Oregon in the 50s and 60s, I never knew of Buck O'Neil and that is my loss. It was through the Ken Burns series that I learned of him and grew to love his enthusiasm for the game. There is a special place in heaven for the man.

Congratulations buck you finally got into the MLB Hall of Fame. I’m looking at the autograph I got from you in 1999 and cherishing that moment I had with you.

cried watching this, thank you for everything Buck, a truly amazing man.

Wish i had the opportunity to buy him dinner and just listen to him speak baseball

Jesus, I didn’t expect to be crying tears of joy, sorrow, and happiness after watching this video. I’m grateful I was able to go to the baseball hall of fame with my best friend the other week and see he’s about to be inducted into the hall of fame.

Maybe the most beautiful and moving tribute for anyone I have ever heard. I first met Buck back on the Ken Burns documentary about baseball. Then I would see him from time to time. And here he is, trying to console all the people grieving his HOF rejection by one vote. I believe I have taken something precious away from knowing Buck O'Neil which has informed my daily life, better than any pastor, teacher, shaman, rock artist or politician. He stands above all, a titan, throwing thunderbolts every time he speaks in his soft voice. I'm not a believer, but I say GOD BLESS BUCK O'NEIL, just in case there is a god, and I am proved wrong. Let's hope Buck has a blissful and safe journey in his next adventure.

Great piece! I’m a lifelong baseball fan and didn’t really know anything about Buck. I’ll definitely watching more things on him and other Negro League greats tonight!

Always the gentleman, Buck O'Neil held the outside door open for me when we went separately to the same Christian preschool open house on a cold windy day in northeast Kansas City.

Thank you Bob for your dedication keeping this alive for the future. You summed things up so well.."you always felt better leaving Buck than when you first saw him .I love this man so much !

Learned about the Negro Leagues back in the 80's. My God-Brother's GranDad would sit us down and tell us about it. The Great Players. Saw Mr.Oniel give a speech once when I was in the Army. Realized I Was Watching Greatness. Class Personified. Dignity Personified.

After only watching 2 videos of this guy, I found I have discovered the second Greatest Man Ever, after My Father.😀

He's now in the hall of fame

I’m not crying, you are

I want to like this 10,000 times.

What a great man.

I met Buck in the late 80's/early 90's at a Royals game. Bob Kendricks' quote "You always felt better leaving Buck than you did coming to see him" is dead on. Buck made you feel like his best friend in the world, even if he had never met you and all you had was a 5 minute conversation. I will treasure the memory.

A TRUE Role Model for being a Great Human (Extremely Rare in todays world) and as far as the HOF ? Short sighted at best.... Buck Stands ABOVE them ... they may judge him unworthy for some reason but he wouldnt care...he would still show em love ...Wonderful and Deserving man

Thank you for introducing me to nergo leagues hall of fame

Listen here and listen good. Harold Reynolds is the man. I have never met him but I know him and love this guy. If you do not love Mr. Reynolds then you do not like people. He is baseball, as much as anyone who ever played the game. I knew I always liked him a lot for his excellent insight and communication skills not to mention his playing years but this here is a side of him I never thought about. I gotta get out to KC.

One of my favorite pieces of video I've ever seen. Love you buck

AN AMERICAM TREASURE A HERO A GENTLEMAN RIP BUCK ❤❤❤

Never seen Buck play.. He sounds like a special person ..

Buck needs to be in the Hall of Fame. And, if you’re in KC, go to the NLBM!

Great man and a great museum. Anyone who visits Kansas City take time and walk through their doors. I did.

Pure class! Real lovely man!

Help us get Larry Doby the proper recognition he really deserves !

This man needs to be in the HOF. I know he is in Heaven playing ball

What an example for all of us to follow today!

A true KC legend.

You know got knew Mr.O’Neil threw Ken Burns documentary.He individual who all look up too.

He was a beautiful man. He deserves to be in the HOF !! PERIOD.

I love Baseball.

Buck O'Neil one very special human being

Wow just wow. I couldn't carry this man's spikes.

Buck knew more about baseball probably than any human being to walk this earth. He was baseball personified.

Buck O'Neil was a true gentleman.

👍

I cannot believe they kept him out of the HOF for one friggin vote. That is the worst thing I’ve heard in a long long time.

Would love to see Buck O'Neil inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Shawn R., Mo-Mutt Music/Sacred & Secular

Who voted against Buck? Anyone who voted against Buck should not be in baseball writers association.

Buck would sure be depressed looking a the world today. Not many trying to get further ahead with love.
