fans of Gil Hodges did during his WS slump of the early 50's; they
prayed for Gil.  We are all SO FORTUNATE to have a hero like Gil
Hodges.  I became a fan of Gil's in 1958 when the Dodgers moved out
to my birthplace of Los Angeles, California.  There is hardly a day
when I don't think about Gil, never a day when I fail to be thankful
for having Gil as my hero.  I KNOW Gil is going to make it into the
HOF and I am confident that it will be soon.  What a wonderful
experience that will be, sharing the moment with all of you @
Cooperstown.  Mrs. Joan Hodges, and the family, deserve this
moment.
