Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat Program

The Buck O’Neil Legacy Seat remains one of Kansas City’s greatest honors, recognizing those who make a difference in our community. While baseball was a large part of Buck’s life, his dedication to the Kansas City community is what truly defined him. His seat at Kauffman Stadium—the only red seat in the ballpark—marks the spot where he once sat, scouting future baseball stars.
