The Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award will honor an individual
whose extraordinary efforts enhanced baseball's positive impact on
society, has broadened the game's appeal, and whose character,
integrity and dignity are comparable to the qualities exhibited by
O'Neil.
I think we can say GIL fits the mold here--the above came from HALL
site & remember BUCK stated at the HALL-GIL deserves to be in HALL--
how fitting for GIL to be first recipient now in 2009 or 2010--HALL
can do when they want--Write Joe Morgan at HALL to get this done for
GIL.
Well, Gil served in WWII, was a pillar of the Brooklyn community in which the
team played, was a role model for which people prayed for him to break out of a
slump, brought a team from 9th place to win an improbable World Series which
certainly broadened the appeal of the game of baseball as millions of people
(including non-fans) followed the team in the summer of '69 -at a time when the
country needed something like the Amazins- and displayed the traits of admirable
character, integrity and dignity that the game could certainly use today. Plus
he was a hell of a ballplayer.
I think I have a frame work for a letter to Mr. Morgan at the Hall.

there is an article in Newsday today that the government should put pressure on
Citigroup and the Mets to void the naming rights contract of Citifield (because
of the bailout).. The writer suggested naming the park Gil Hodges Field, since
he played in Brooklyn and managed in Queens.
It probably will not happen, but wouldn't that be great?

He'd be the recipient of a nice honor. To be "in the Hall of Fame" one
would have to have his plaque hanging with the others in the "Hall"
(between Snider and Eddie Mathews would be a good spot).
I had a feeling....I didn't think there was any other way in for him but through
the Vet. Com.---that will be a tough task, but worth the effort. He certainly
becomes an even better candidate in light of the recent headlines concerning
modern day "stars"...
He'd be the recipient of a nice honor. To be "in the Hall of Fame" one

I am a huge Gil Hodges fan. Wrote to the Hall of Fame and they did mention the
veterans commitee. I live in San Diego and the Mets are my favorite team...I
grew up with the Brooklyn Dodgers...do you think we can get Tommy Lasorda to
help us....somehow I believe he can make an influence...If we all write to the
veterans commitee that may help as well...
