“OUTSTANDING!” That was one of the favorite catch phrases of former Negro Leagues baseball legend and museum chairman John "Buck" O’Neil (1911-2006). "Outstanding" is the theme for BUCK'S BASH: 107th Birthday Celebration of Buck O'Neil, 8 p.m., Saturday, November 10, 2018 at the Gem Theater. The event is a tribute to the legacy of O'Neil and will include a concert by The Gap Experience (Gap Band), whose legendary funk/R&B songs include the chart-topping hit “Outstanding."

A ROYAL SALUTE TO A MONARCH precedes the musical performance at the Gem Theater. Kansas City Royals legends Amos Otis, Willie Wilson, and Frank White will discuss Buck O'Neil and the influence he had on their careers.

For the evening, you can choose the exclusive "107 VIP Package," which features a pre-event cocktail reception at the museum (6:00 pm) and lower level seating for the theater ceremonies.
