"He is the ambassador of baseball"
"he was a good baseball player"

"Buck O'Neil had a great career during a disgraceful time in America and always rose above it. He has been a leading voice for the game he loves. He should now rise to the hall of fame."
"Buck O'Neil being overlooked for the hall of fame is ludicrous. As a player he was at the top of his craft, but as an ambassador for the game, he is second to none."

"RIP Buck"
"Baseball fans must honor Buck O Neil for his amazing life and passion for baseball. I feel so blessed to have met Buck in person when he came to speak at my school a few years ago. God bless you, Buck."
"To bad he didn't live to see it."
"A great baseball ambassador to the Negro Leagues and baseball as a whole."
