Back in the early 1990's, I was hoarding Dahlen's cards, for I thought for sure he would have been inducted back then by the Veteran's Committee (such as Vic Willis was in 1995).
I'll mention another candidate that may stir up some controversy here......Gil Hodges. You can check out all Gil's stats and stories in BB Ref. or Wiki; however, I saw him play from
1949 to 1963. Trust me, if you had seen Gil play, you too would wonder why he's not in the HOF.
During the decade of the 1950's, Gil lead all MLB 1st basemen in Hits, HR's RBI's, AB's, and extra-base hits. Gil was one of the finest fielding 1st basemen's in the '50s, which won
him the Golden Gloves the first 3 years they were awarded (1957-59).
