But when the Kansas City Monarchs were in town or when the East-West game was on, they started church at ten o'clock, so they could get out an hour earlier and come to the ball game. Came straight to the ball game, looking pretty.

The question is inevitable. Whenever people ask me about the Negro Leagues, it always comes up. ''So, do you think Buck O Neil should be in the Hall of Fame?'' A pregnant pause. Well...
