It’s tempting to say that 91-year-old Buck O’Neil has forgotten more about baseball than I’ll ever know. But in his interview with Bronx Banter’s Alex Belth (who after interviewing Marvin Miller and Ken Burns is, dare I say, en fuego), it’s abundantly clear that the Negro League legend hasn’t forgotten much at all. Still with plenty on the ball, O’Neil recounts for Belth his days in the Negro Leagues, his scouting discoveries, and his take on players from bygone eras compared to those of today. What’s always endeared me to O’Neil is that he never merely resorts to a things-were-better-in-my-day take on the game. Or the world, for that matter. I’m not sure how he manages to stay so positive, but it’s clearly a good prescription for longevity.
