Sweet Valley Death's Buck O' Neil in Esquire
Buck O'Neil, 94, appears in the current issue of Esquire magazine. Sweet Valley Death's 47th round draft pick is featured in the "What I've Learned" column. Here are a few of the things Buck has learned over his long life.
- A nickname means you belong.
- Gates. That's the best barbecue in Kansas City. Beef on a bun and baked beans. Hallelujah!
- Like the person you love. That's how you have a long marriage.
- I'm going to the doctor tomorrow at the University of Kansas medical center. They're doing a study on Alzheimer's disease, and they want to know how come my memory's so good. They want to see if exercise can help eliminate that disease.
Good on ya, Buck.
