(March 26, 2013) The National Baseball Hall of Fame is now accepting nominations for the 2014 Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award.
The award honors an individual whose extraordinary efforts enhanced baseball's positive impact on society, broadened the game's appeal, and whose character, integrity and dignity are comparable to the qualities exhibited by O'Neil.
The Nisei Baseball Research Project (NBRP) is spearheading a campaign to nominate Kenichi Zenimura (1900-1968), the Father of Japanese American Baseball, the perfect recipient of this award.
You Can Help Nominate Zenimura win the Buck O’Neil award through two methods: 1) sign the online petition below; or
2) Via the optional paper form (link right)
The NBRP will include your online signature supporting Zenimura for the 2014 Buck O’Neil Award to the HOF as supporting documentation for his nomination.
Thanks in advance for your support.
