Buck O'Neil hospitalized at 94
Posted By: Jon Canfield
While in high school, I was lucky enough to work for Ed Keetz who promoted many shows in the upstate New York area. Buck appeared at a couple of card shows. He was scheduled to sign autographs from 11-2, however the show did not end until 4 pm. After Buck was done at 2pm, he proceeded to grab the large microphone on the main autograph stage and tell stories and entertained the crowd for almost another hour. By far, my favorite story told was the origins of his nickname "Nancy". After that, he spent the rest of the show walking around, talking with people in the crowd, telling more stories, and probably signing another 200+ items! The guy was truly incredible.
