There is no excuse for Gil not to be in the HOF. As a player, or a manager, Gil was an inspiration and an icon. Furthermore, as a World War II Marine, he deserves our respect and thanks.

By every measure Gil is a hall of famer as a player and a manager. Right this decades long travesty.

Gil Hodges, wow what a truly well balanced, all around sports-hero! It really does not add up; why a special person dedicated to baseball; like Gil Hodges is not in Cooperstown (MLBH.)

How can he not be in the Hall with the 370 home runs he hit in the era where home runs were harder to come by and then add his “Mets Miracle World Series “

Gil Hodges was the premier first baseman of his era and certainly belongs in Cooperstown.

gil was the greatest righthanded first baseman who ever lived,and defense was especially important to the fabulous brooklyn clubs of the 'post war era.his prowess at the plate,his ability to break up any game with one swing,does not require any more comment-he was truly,"the cat who carried a cannon."

He was one of the greatest Brooklyn Dodgers.
