Angry on Behalf of Gil Hodges

The Veterans Committee of the Hall of Fame has decided not to let anyone in this year. 

Think about it.   7 consecutive seasons with more than 100 runs batted in.  9 seasons, 8 consecutive, with a slugging percentage over .500.  11 Seasons with more than 20 home runs.  6 of those seasons with more than 30 home runs.  2 of those seasons with more than 40 home runs.   Winner of the first 3 Golden Glove Awards for a first baseman.  A central figure on the greatest National League team of the 1950’s. 

The manager of the greatest baseball miracle team of all time.
