Very sad news. It is a great injustice that he wasn't inducted before his pasing. I can recall his speech upon the induction of many Negro League players and contibutors, and he seemed very humbled with the honor of presenting them. Never held any animosity towards those that kept him out in the face of criticisms from those in the media calling for his inclusion. He will be in the Hall next season, and wil always be remembered as long as this baseball fan is around..
