John Jordan Buck O’Neil, 1911 2006. Buck was born in Carrabelle, Florida. As a 12-year-old, O’Neil began his semi-professional career as a member of Florida’s Sarasota Tigers. He took his nickname from Miami Giants semi-pro team co-owner Buck O’Neal. In 1938, he earned a spot as the first baseman for the Kansas City Monarchs, one of the elite teams of the Negro Leagues. From 1939 to 1942, Kansas City won four consecutive Negro American League pennants. In 1944, O’Neil enl...isted in the U.S. Navy and following the end of the war he returned to the Monarchs. He won the batting title that year and also married Memphis school teacher Ora Lee Owen. In 1948, O’Neil was named player-manager of the Monarchs. He led them to league pennants in 1948, 1950, 1951, and 1953 and to two Negro World Series titles. O’Neil left the Monarchs in 1956 and was named Major League Baseball’s first Black coach by the Chicago Cubs in 1962. He remained with the Cubs for a 33-year career with the organization. He returned to Kansas City and joined the Royals as a scout. At age 94, O’Neil became the oldest man to play professional baseball when he stepped up to bat twice during the independent Northern League All-Star game. Shortly thereafter, O’Neil succumbed to fatigue. He never regained his strength and died in Kansas City on October 6, 2006.
