It's to bad we can't get a list of the vets and how they voted. The idea would
be to bombard those vets who didn't vote for Gil inspite of his record
(considering how many full seasons he played),his reputation, and what he did
for the Mets in 1969. I agree with you; can you imagine how the 57th player on
the homerun list isn't in the hall? Makes no sense to me.There are also some
vets who are sympathetic to are cause (Snider, Seaver) who if tapped, might be
able to swing a couple of "swing" voter. Lets keep up the fight and get this
great man into the Hall of Fame where he belongs!

A FEW WEEKS AGO MIKE PIAZZA OF NY METS PASSED GIL'S 370 HOMERS FOR
#56 ON ALL TIME
HOME RUN LIST
IF YOU LOOK AT LIST, GIL IS AMONG FEW WHO ARE NOT IN HALL OF
FAME LIKE ROCKY COLAVITO AND DALE MURPHY AMONG OTHERS
VET COMMITTEE WILL SELECT VOTING BALLOT IN FALL THIS YEAR AND
THEN 80+ HALL MEMBERS GET TO VOYE--LAST TIME NO ONE GOT 75% --GIL WAS
TOP VOTER BUT CLOSE ONLY COUNTS IN HORSE SHOES
LET'S GET TO CARD SHOWS WHERE HALL MEMBERS ARE AND PUSH FOR
GIL'S VOTE IN 2005
