PrintAs I'm sure you all read, Buck O'Neill was trotted out in the recent minor league All-Star game. The article I read stated;
"The T-Bones signed O'Neil to a one-day contract, making him the oldest man ever to play professional baseball."
Now, the question is...does the five year waiting period for Hall of Fame eligibility restart because he was technically on a team for one day?

No - because the Kansas City T-Bones are in the Independent Northern League, not affiliated with an MLB team.
