1960 mfc Gil Hodges

 1960 mfc Gil Hodges

 I'm making some cards for the final drive to get Gil in the HoF. The big portrait picture is from his 1954 Bowman card, a fantastic shot. Dressed him L.A. style.

That's Sandy Koufax's jersey and windbreaker Hodges is wearing. Hey, may as well whip up a Sandy while I got the card kit out.

I think we've done all we can for Mr. Hodges in 2014. Today was the deadline for letters. So this campaign comes to a close.

I want Bill Hall to know he's done a great job and regardless of the outcome, it's been an honor to be able to help in this cause. I'll continue to help until it gets done. But hopefully, Gil Hodges gets the nod and we can celebrate his induction in 2015.

I see many people remember Gil and think very highly of him. Many believe he should be in the Hall. I know he is considered a borderline candidate and it is a close call. But look at all these people going to bat for him.


This is 50 years after his first year of eligibility, and over 40 years since his passing. It should mean something to those who vote, that so many still stand behind the quiet man. So many will still speak for him. As a HoF candidate, when someone has been on the fence as Gil has been over the years, I do hope we people can tilt the scales that little bit that it takes to get him in.

Big Thanks to all involved. Thanks to all who signed the petition. A special thanks to those who wrote letters.

The decision will be announced on December 9th.

This wallpaper (with a banner) was made for the Gil Hodges Belongs In the Baseball Hall of Fame fb group for this final stretch. 

Hopefully we can add a HoF plaque to it :)

14 in 14 !!! Lets get it done!!

I put that up that on Twitter^. Not sure if I did it right because I don't tweet. What supposed to happen? It gets re-tweeted? I don't think it'll even get seen, lol. Someone, please do whatever it is that folks do on twitter to reach other Gil Hodges fans.

We are in the home stretch. Less than a month to go. The petition has been sent. 

Here's a message from Bill Hall , our tireless leader.

"Gil Hodges Belongs In the Baseball Hall of Fame (@ facebook) exists to advocate for the long-overdue election of Gil Hodges to Baseball’s Hall of Fame. He is on the ballot for the Golden Era Committee vote scheduled December 8. Please help! Our online petition has been mailed to Cooperstown today with more than 3,200 signatures! There is still time to write a letter to the Golden Era Committee, c/o baseball Hall of Fame, 25 Main Street, Cooperstown, N.Y. 13326. Letters should be short (no more than a page), personal and positive, focused on Gil’s attributes and not on tearing down other candidates or members of the Hall. They must arrive in Cooperstown by Nov. 24 in order to be seen by the committee before they vote."

 Thanks to all who signed the petition. If you support having Gil Hodges inducted into the National Baseball Hall Of Fame, take that extra step. Please, write to Cooperstown and put it over the top. Gil should go in this year. It is fate!!

14in14!!!

Feel free to wear this as a banner on fb if you want to show your support. An avatar as well. Show your support people! The odds are against Gil and he needs our help.
