I was fortunate enough to see Gil play several games at Ebbets Field with my Dad, both us ardent Dodgers' fans. I recall vividly one opposite field homer he hit over the old Schaeffer Beer sign in right field; the ball just keep on rising even after it had well-cleared the fence. He had leadership presence on the Diamond and was the perfect 1st sacker for Jackie, always encouraging and supportive. I know he won several Golden Gloves despite being right hander playing first.
Enough already. Dodger number 14 needs to be enshrined and let Gil out of the purgatory where he has languished for far too long.
