gil hodges was a fantastic player and manager, is a very important part of the history of both the dodgers and emts, he was very special, do some research on him ... in my opinion he has been royally snubbed

Fantastic player? Not HOF caliber that is for sure. His stats are no where close to HOF caliber. He was merely a fan favorite.

i disagree, strongly in fact, there are plenty of guys in the HOF with similar numbers if you want to do the research ... but thats cool, doesnt really matter anyways lol

I wasn't going to say anything, because I thought the 'Hodges' comment would get ignored, but....

....can we please not use this thread for discussions about WHO should be included?

Thanks

Someone did claim that Hodges should be included. Yet I have to strongly disagree with players making it with .273 career batting avg. That in a 18 year career actually even hit that average 7 years. His career slugging percentage isn't in the top 150 players. If I let people like him in then I would have to argue that Tino Martinez should be in as well.

So if we are going to talk about players that should be in, then you have to look at the players that others nominate and point out that they shouldn't be in.

Again if someone could give me a legitimate reason why he should be in I would love to hear it, because in my "research" nothing pops out as to why (besides being loved by everyone).

andy,

i understand what you are a trying to say, and via private message i will show you my reasoning as to why gil hodges belongs in the baseball hof. i dont mean it in a snarky way at all, because this is actually a very fun part of the game and chatting about it is interesting, but i will show why i think hodges is a very worthy candidate, and you can tell me if you still disagree, which is fine.

sorry for disrupting the thread, i hadnt actually read the thread really and just went by the title, which was dumb, so my bad. very cool idea in general though.

Friendly bump to encourage further discussion regarding Scott's idea.

Personally, I think this would be great. Ironing out the logistics would certainly take quite a bit of work; however, most likely well worth the effort.

If there is any way in which I can be helpful here, I am more than happy to volunteer.

Best Regards,

Eric
