He doesn't seem to get the credit/attention that he should. Is this because he's a nice guy who appears to keep to himself? He never gets involved in the childish shit such as yelling f*ck around kids and these same players acting like children themselves (many names qualify here). His stats are incredible each season and he plays both sides of the ball. Does he need to act like a Purcell, Reyna, Collins, etc etc...to get the attention he deserves?

Pls know I don't know Buddy personally. My comments stem from observing his play for a handful of seasons.

I will just say this about mr wolf. He did me an absolute solid favor a few years back. Refused to be compensated, and did it voluntarily just to help out. He was one of the most generous and kind people I've ever encountered in the game.

Buddy is a school teacher, so I’m assuming he plays the game the right way and acts with a level of decorum knowing his students can easily Google him, or tune in on weekends to see him play on a livestream and doesn’t want to embarrass himself.

It’s obvious he takes his job seriously, and acts accordingly as well as his wife and family are always at the fields watching him, and he doesn’t act like an idiot and embarrass them.

I’ve met him on a handful of occasions and dude is humble, quiet and class personified.

I played with Buddy for a couple years. He is Probably the nicest human being on the planet. A total family guy as well. He absolutely murders the ball, hustles all the time and will do whatever the team asks him to do. He truly plays because he loves playing the game.

I don't know Buddy and will never meet the guy, but it's nice reading positive comments on this board about someone. Lots of bashing, lots of egos, lots of attitudes at the conference, lots of negative stories and too many players chirping in general. Very cool reading about someone that respects the game and plays it well.

exactly why i posted this thread. in today's world (well, it's been this way for some time) only the aholes seem to get most of the recognition. and man does it get tired hearing about how some of these softball aholes (few names mentioned in my 1st post) are good guys off the field. enough of that, please.

Very pleased to hear these stories about Buddy...glad I was accurate with this. it's beyond time guys like Buddy get much more recognition...

Buddy Wolf is as good as it gets. Tremendous ball player with a great attitude about it all.. Loves the game but he has the right thing on his mind 90% of the time.. His Family..... I wish I could have been that way. Maybe I would have more than a pot to piss in.. No complaints from me.. I chose ball and you reep what you sow! Great job Buddy Wolf.... It is a bitch blowing myself up so many times!

Buddy Wolf deserves all the great things people say about him. so does Ben Dunn. i was lucky to have both of these guys play for me on their way up to major. Thry helped me & my Astros squad compete against the top teams. SO PROUD OF THESE TWO & ALL THE OTHER GREAT GUYs WE HAD. WE BUILT OUR TEAMS ON SKILL OF COURSE BUT ALSO ON CHARACTER. I MISS THE GAME SO MUCH BUT RETIREMENT & HEALTH MADE IT HARD TO AFFORD.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PLAYED, COACHED, HELPED SPONSORED US. IT WAS A GREAT RIDE - 50 YEARS OF FUN & FRIENDSHIP.
