My biggest takeaway from this video short was the lasting impact Buck has had on the sport. Becoming the first African American coach in the MLB and sharing his life stories of the Negro Leagues showed the passion he had in growing the game. @NLBMuseumKC @jfbyland

The person I chose for this subject matter is Buck O'Neil @NLBMuseumKC @jfbyland

Buck broke the segregation barriers that were built around the MLB. There were racial barriers that plagued the country at the time and he didn't allow them to halt his rise in the profession by continuing to educate America after his playing days. @NLBMuseumKC @jfbyland
