The veteran's committee need to get Gil Hodges in.

You are absolutely correct. Hodges retired with the 3rd highest homerun total for a righthander...and Mays had just past him. He led all 1st baseman in homeruns in the 50's and was 2nd in Homeruns and RBI's overall in the 50's (Snider was first). He won the first 3 gold gloves in his last 3 years as a full time firstbaseman and by all accounts he was one of the best firstbaseman of all time (at that time). Since he died so young, I don't feel it's unreasonable to add what a great job he did as a manager of some bad or average teams either.
