Anyway, glad he's in the Hall and I'm assuming that he's the last of those great Brooklyn Dodgers to get in (anyone want to push for Carl Furillo?). LOL

Not actually advocating for him but Newcombe has a ROY, CY and MVP. Gave two years service in his prime to his country. Was the 2nd or 3rd best hitting pitcher of all time and played two years in Japan with his pal Larry Doby AS AN OUTFIELDER where he outhit Doby. Just a super cool guy that seems to get lost some times.
