Is Dahlen a lock ????? VS others at position why not ??

[Topps206]

Hodges is no slam dunk and position adjustment does matter. Dahlen did what was expected of him as a shortstop and more. Hodges had nice but not HOF worthy career.

Mike,

Thanks for sharing that photo. What a great picture of Gil. I tried locating it on Ebay to no avail. Any ideas where I could purchase one? Any assistance would be appreciated. On the subject of Gil being in the HOF, I too believe he belongs there(Gil is my favorite player ever making my position regarding this issue somewhat biased). I never got to see Gil play since I was not born until 1962 but how I wish I had a time machine and could go back to the 50's era and live the lows and highs of being a Brooklyn Dodgers fan.

My father was a huge Gil Hodges fan and passed his love of Gil as a player and more importantly as a great person onto me.

Thanks for any help regarding the photo.

I sent you a PM on the photo. Go to Amazon and buy a book called "Praying for Gil Hodges". I think you will LOVE it. I recommend that book to ANY baseball fan. It bleeds 1950s baseball and is non-fiction. LOVED it.....and I'm a Red Sox fan!

Peace, Mike

Do you own all of those? I'm jealous, if so. I'd love to own a Brooklyn to complement my Boston but now's not the time to hammer out the big bucks.
