Like you, my father was a big Brooklyn Dodgers fan. He grew up in Brooklyn. I remember him talking about Gil Hodges. I have recollections that Gil lived in the neighbourhood.

Between his playing days and managing the Miracle Mets, his membership was long overdue. I'm glad he's been recognised by the Committee.

Way overdue on Hodges - Over the years - I can remember having conversations many times as to why he hadn't been inducted a long time ago.

Being originally from KC - Buck has had a tremendous career and vary large fan base for a long time.

BTW - If you ever get a chance - The Negro League Baseball Hall of Fame at 18th and Vine is an incredible way to spend a day.

Just wanted to second this recommendation! I’ve been there a couple times over the years and it really is a great museum.
