John Jordan “Buck” O’Neil Jr., the first Black coach in MLB history, was inducted posthumously Sunday into the same Nationak Baseball Hall of Fame class as another Black baseball pioneer, Bud Fowler, and former Negro league All-Star, Minnie Miñoso. After his baseball career ended, O’Neil kept the memories of the Negro leagues alive with his stories and the creation of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. He died in 2006.
