In 2022, John Jordan "Buck" O'Neil, became a member of Cooperstown (MLB's Hall of Fame).  Originally drafted in the Negro Leagues by the Memphis Red Sox, Buck was traded to the Kansas City Monarchs in 1938, where Kansas City became his permenant home. 

After finishing his career, both coaching and playing with Kansas City Monarchs, in  1962, Buck became the first black coach in Major League Baseball, when he took a job with the Chicago Cubs.
