I've been at the Hall of Fame twice (I've been there six times total for reference) when groups of older Dodgers fans asked out loud where Hodges plaque was because they didn't see it. The first time I was with my dad and grandfather, and I mentioned that I didn't have the heart to tell them, and both of them had no idea what I meant at first because they both thought Hodges was in the Hall of Fame. I don't have a second example of a player that I heard that about while in the Hall of Fame. I take that as a sign from the people who saw him that he was a no-brainer to be inducted.
