Default Gil Hodges Strikes Out

Posted By: Bob Marquette

Jim Kaat and Tony Oliva tied for 3rd place. Kaat has 280 wins and 18 gold gloves. He is more deserving than Don Sutton but Sutton did last long enough to win 300 games.
Tony O. should be a lock for the Hall. He was better than Kirby Puckett, just didn't have his noteriety, playing in Minnesota in the 60's and 70's when baseball there was a wasteland. It makes me sick to see guys like Billy Williams slide in and Tony O. on the outside looking in. The most feared hitter in the American League during his time according to the pitchers who faced him. A marvelous athlete with speed, a powerful arm and a great hitter. A real shame...
