Buck goes in as a contributor and the voice of Negro League baseball.
He should’ve went in back in 2006 when 17 other players and executives went in and when he was alive.

I think what the Donaldson Network, particularly the founder Peter Gorton has done for John Donaldson and his legacy is tremendous. With help from hundreds across the country they have been able to piece Donaldson’s storied career back together and bring it to the forefront.
I think this is his year to get in and rightfully so.

Dick Redding has been overlooked for years, he’s one of the best pitchers black or white of his era.

Would’ve liked to seen Dick Lundy, Dobie Moore (please don’t argue with me about how many years he played, count the wrecker years and he’s one of the best all-around players of any era) and John Beckwith make the list but I guess their time will come at a later date.
