Gil Hodges

[JollyElm]

I think of my parents and their adoration for 'Dem Bums' and Gil Hodges in particular. They didn't care about things like The Hall of Fame, but in their (and countless Dodgers fans') hearts, he was unquestionably a HOFer.

We only care about the HOF because election typically affects card value.

For Hodges, and a couple others like Minoso, I think it's already priced in.

I know its already priced in, but I am still willing to buy '57 Minoso, '52 Bowman Minoso (white border), '55 Topps Gil Hodges, and '49 Bowman Gil Hodges.

Let me know if you want to let go of yours. Looking for high grade Minosos and mid-grade Hodges.

My neighbor is from NY.He was a toll collector,for 20 years
He worked on that bridge
He said any day , Gil Hodges stopped to pay the Toll,he would
ask the Toll collector "What's the name of this bridge?",
just for the fun of it.

Have to disagree here. Gary Carter getting in felt huge for me - could care less what it might do for his cards (not much).

Gil Hodges absolutely deserves to be in the HOF and screw Ted Williams for robbing him of that honor years ago.

Once Harold Baines got in, any argument to keep Hodges out became moot.

You have completely missed the point and your comment is so far off base. Have another drink.
