I WILL BE IN COOPERSTOWN FOR ABOUT THE 8TH STRAIGHT YEAR WITH MY #14
GIL HODGES SHIRT. GIL IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE OUR HALL OF FAMER--
BASEBALL JUST HAS TO WAKE UP. WE ALL FEEL FOR JOAN HODGES AND HER
FAMILY. GIL NEVER GAVE UP AS A MARINE--WHEN HE WENT O-21 IN THE WORLD
SERIES--WHEN HE WAS CONVERTED TO FIRST FROM CATCHER--WHEN HE HAD A
HEART ATTACK AS A MANAGER--ASK ANY OF HIS '69 METS.

IT SEEMS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE VOTING POWER SAYS HE SHOULD BE IN.
SO LET'S DIG IN AND CONTINUE THE QUEST---NEXT BALLOT DEC-2004---FINAL
VOTE>>>FEB--2005
GIL HODGES BELONGS IN COOPERSTOWN AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT
HAPPEN
THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT
