But consider these rather serious omissions...Chuck Klein, Riggs Stephenson, Cecil Travis, and Gil Hodges.

Then we have Joe Jackson (he didn't take the money), Pete Rose (I couldn't care less about his gambling), and Barry Bonds (I couldn't care less about his steroids).

I completely agree with you about Hodges. I never understood Gil's omission especially considering the additional consideration of his managerial career

8� All-Star (1949–1955, 1957)
3� World Series champion (1955, 1959, 1969)
3� Gold Glove Award (1957–1959)
Managed the '69 Miracle Mets
