    Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat program
    Select Royals fans honored throughout 2007 season in O'Neil's memory

    Congratulations to the recipients of the Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat program.

    To honor O'Neil and his contribution to Kansas City, the Royals have created the contest that will fill "Buck's seat" for every 2007 home game with a member of the community who, on a large or small scale, embodies an aspect of O'Neil's spirit.

    The Royals invite members of the community to nominate individuals they feel are worthy of filling "Buck's seat." Please nominate someone here:

    • Nominate an individual to sit in Buck's seat »

    The following individuals have made an important impact on the people around them and pay tribute to Buck O'Neil by sitting in the seat location he sat in at Kauffman Stadium. Click on each winner’s name to find out more about them.
