March 2, 200521 yr How about Gil Hodges? He was vastly under-appreciated player outside of NY and a teriffic manager. He left us too soon.
March 2, 200521 yr Roger Maris Its a shame hes not in the HOF, and if he ever gets in its a shame he was not alive to see that special day.
March 2, 200521 yr Munson Santo Torre Newcombe I love because I'm a Brooklyn Dodgers fan, but I don't think he deserves it.
March 2, 200521 yr Roger Maris Its a shame hes not in the HOF, and if he ever gets in its a shame he was not alive to see that special day. 699421[/snapback] You should look again at Roger Maris' career stats, and you might change your mind. He's not HOF material.
March 2, 200521 yr Roger Maris Its a shame hes not in the HOF, and if he ever gets in its a shame he was not alive to see that special day. 699421[/snapback] Maris is not HOF calibre. The guy hit more than 40 HR's once(61). He hit 30+ in just 2 seasons (60 & 62). Aside from those three years, the guy hit 20+ 3 seasons and the rest, were below 20 (sometimes well below 30). He finished his career with .260 BA & 275 HR. That is not HOF numbers. My vote goes to Ron Santo
March 2, 200521 yr Just to update, the HOF Veterans' Committee voting results will be posted at 2 PM EST on the HOF's official website, baseballhalloffame.org.
March 2, 200521 yr Hodges - great player & manager Maris - one of the greatest years in baseball history, forever changed the game Newcombe - key starter on many great Brooklyn Doger teams Oliva - quietly consistant, solid player, great hitter Wills - first of the "speedsters", he helped change the game as well :notworthy
