Episode 298 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're continuing our block of episodes on the greatest players in the history of the Negro Leagues.Buck O'Neil was fantastic first baseman, a terrific scout and manager and an overall amazing ambassador to the game in general.Born in segregated Florida, O'Neil realized that the game of baseball was a way out of hard labor in the celery fields of his youth during the 1930s.Though forced to barnstorm and play in obscurity during his early years in professional baseball, O'Neil became a staple at first base for some of the greatest Negro Leagues teams of all time as a member of the Kansas City Monarchs.O'Neil made two All-Star teams and was an integral part of the Monarchs' 1942 Negro World Series championship squad. A great hitter and defender, O'Neil was sadly robbed of a chunk of his prime years when he served in the Navy in World War II.After his service, O'Neil returned to the Negro Leagues and managed the Monarchs from 1948-1955 when the league was struggling financially in the post-integration era.Armed with a keen eye for talent, O'Neil then became a scout for the Chicago Cubs and signed legends such as Lou Brock. He is even credited as being the first African-American manager in MLB history when he became manager of the Cubs in 1962 despite never getting to manage on the field.He continued to enjoy decades of success as a scout for the Cubs and the Kansas City Royals, and even helped establish the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City.A true pioneer and credit to the game of baseball, O'Neil was a legend. Finally, in 2022 he was enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame for his contributions to the National Pastime.Connect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: @cquinncomedyDominic DiTolla: @ditolladominicProducer: @ty_englestudioInstagram: @thesportsexperiencepodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please help support us @:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast #buckoneil#baseballplayer#baseball

It's the perfect time to share more about the history of the Negro Leagues because, in the spring of 2024, Major League Baseball officially incorporated the statistics of over 2,300 Negro Leagues players from 1920–1948 into its record books. These statistics are now a permanent part of American professional baseball history. Read more about this milestone and peruse some of the updated records at MLB.com.

Then he became the museum's first Director of Marketing in 1998 and held various other leadership roles before being appointed president of the organization in 2011.

The Nats lost 8-3 to the Cardinals on a scorching Sunday afternoon in the nation's capital. Al & Mark begin the show by discussing how the pitching staff is clearly fatigued during this stretch of 17 games in 17 days. DJ Herz did not have a good outing as he allowed five runs in less than five innings of work. Herz was lifted after 102 pitches and four relievers were needed behind him. (14:00) James Wood singled and drew a pair of walks in the loss. Wood so far has been walked six times in seven games and this seems like this might become a pattern for the rookie. (20:00) CJ Abrams is the team's lone representative at this month's All-Star game. Abrams leads the Nats in almost every offensive statistical category including OPS at .859. Mark notes that CJ has been Washington's lead-off hitter for a full calendar year now. (24:00) Jake Irvin however was snubbed from the National League roster and Al points out how this is a mistake. Irvin ranks 4th in WHIP in the NL and is tied for 2nd in pitching WAR. (31:00) Brady House has been promoted to play 3B at AAA-Rochester one day after Trey Lipscomb was promoted back to the Nationals. Could House be on the 2025 Opening Day roster? (36:00) Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City, join Nats Chat for the fourth consecutive year. Bob tells Tim about Mamie "Peanut" Johnson, the only female pitcher in Negro Leagues history. Mamie lived for many years in the DMV before passing away in 2017. Learn more about your ad choices.
