Subject: Baseball Hall of Famel Induction


Dear Vanessa Wiliams And Miss America,

Last Friday we lost a legend and treasure, Buck O'Neil. Buck would have been 95 years old in November. He is known for much, including his compassion, kindness and enthusiasum for life. Buck often told stories about a different America and the greatness of overcomming imperfictions. He was the leadership behind the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The Negro Leagues were formed here in Kansas City. He played and coached in the Negro Leagues. Buck O'Neil was the first African American to manager in the Major Leagues. Last sumer he missed being inducted into baseballs Hall of Fame by one vote. Buck O'Neil deserves to be inducted into baseballs Hall of Fame.

Those of us who knew him and had the pleasure of spending time with him know that he not only needs to inducted to baseballs Hall of Fame, he deserves to be inducted into the Hall of Fame of Great Americans.

I ask for your assistance and those who view your website to see that John "Buck" O'Neil receives the recogniton that he so rightly deserves. Thanks for your assistance and our very best of regards from the heartland of America.
Randy

P.S. The funeral viewing will be this Friday at the Legends Museum at 18th and Vine. The public ceromony on Saturday, hopefully at Kaufman Stadium. If you can attend I would be happy and very proud to show you a large portion of the heartland of America. Contact Emanuel Cleaver Congressman 5th District of Missouri for details. Congressman Cleaver has my phone number and address.
