He is qualified on so many fronts, i.e., Mgr., player, ambassador for the Game, gentleman, etc...

People ought to take the time and read his illustrious career, and all he did for baseball as a player, manager and human being. Never on steroids, but always on to playing the game like a champion and gentleman with tremendous talent and integrity.

My favorite Brooklyn Dodger---what class---I saw him hit a homer in Ebbetts Field when I was 8!!

Saw Gil play a few times in person in my youth & many times on TV. He was a class individual, a fine ballplayer who was a vital cog in "The Boys Of Summer" and a great manager. He belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

I grew up a Cubs fan in the 1950s, and Hodges was a one-man wrecking machine against the Cubs. But he did that to everyone. Played on great teams. He is long overdue for induction into the Hall of Fame.

An emotional anchor of my youth. October 4th, 1955 ... Howard hits a ground ball to Reece, across to Hodges ... Yes!!!!

Bill Mazeroski is in and Gil Hodges is not, which gives the rock and roll hall of fame more legitimacy. Especially after one reads the alleged criteria for the baseball museum.

He deserves it for his playing skills and for his support of Jackie Robinson. BROOKLYN NEEDS A MAJOR LEAGUE TEAM NOW! SEND THE CYCLONES UPSTAIRS TO SEE HOW THEY DO. Baseball should be managed along the lines of British Soccer. If a team hasn't won a game in so many seasons, the whole team becomes minor league and a Minor League team goes up to the majors in its place. That would stop the prima donnas
