Someone once asked me what I thought about Pete Rose and his
exclusion from the HOF. I replied that I didn't care much, one way or
another, about Rose but do think that if issues of character and
integrity are important enough to keep Pete from the HOF then why are
these same qualities not important enough to bump a player, like Gil,
into the HOF.

Gil Hodges represented the best in baseball and the best in mankind.
How can those who vote continue to ignore Gil's qualities as a player,
manager and man??
