Moleskine
Buck O’Neil was a player and manager in the Negro League, and went on to become the first black coach for a major league club. He was also a Christian and known for his great love for people. In a speech he gave at a Hall of Fame induction ceremony, representing 17 Negro League players retroactively inducted, he ended by asking everyone to hold hands with their neighbor and all together sing the words “The greatest thing in all my life is loving you”.
He embodied the greatest commandment to love God and love others. He loved on everyone he met. Let’s just be reminded to love on everyone we meet during our day, even if it’s some stranger you have a short interaction with.
