I agree, I'm also thinking that for next year only, the Royals should wear the Monarchs uniform more than once.

Wearing them @ every home game may be going overboard, the idea running thru my head now is wearing Monarchs uniforms at all day home games and on Friday nights home games. On road games & non-Friday night games a commerative patch would be worn on current day uniforms. (Of course, the commerative would also be worn with the Monarchs uniforms.)

To me, just wearing a commerative patch on the modern-day uniforms with us just wearing the Monarchs uniform just once or twice would not suffice. Buck deserves more.

I had the privelege of knowing Buck a little bit through his association with the Museums 18th and Vine. I talked to him about what K.C. was really like when he was playing ball. What a wealth of knowledge, history, and information this man had. Kansas City and Baseball just lost it's greatest ambassador, and one of it's most solid citizens.

R.I.P Buck. It's an absolute discgrace that you weren't inducted into the hall of fame while alive. A true pioneer to the sport, The race, And the world. A great man, Great player, And a great representative of Kansas City. Our city, State, And world are now that much worse for having lost you.
