I'm a massive Buck O'Neill For The Hall supporter.
I can see wanting to get in guys like Oscar Charlton, Satchell Paige, Pop Lloyd, and Josh Gibson first, because they really were some of the best pro baseball players ever. However, by this point, O'Neill should be in the Hall. I hope he gets to live to see his induction; something tells me he'd give a GREAT induction speech.
