My Homeruns order arrived in the first half of the delivery time period and all of the items were placed on the kitchen counter -- yeah.  On the way out the door, the delivery person noticed an 8x10 photo of Buck O'Neil and myself, which was taken while I was at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum celebrating the birthday of Laura Hockaday, who wrote for many years the "Society" column for the Kansas City Star.  At first, he was not sure who the person was, but he commented that the person looked familiar.  After I told him that it was Buck O'Neil, we talked about some of the great players that Buck must have played with or against, Cool Papa Bell, Satchel Paige, Turkey Stearnes, Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard, Oscar Charleston, etc.
