Between his playing days and managing the Miracle Mets, his membership was long overdue. I'm glad he's been recognised by the Committee.

Way overdue on Hodges - Over the years - I can remember having conversations many times as to why he hadn't been inducted a long time ago.
Being originally from KC - Buck has had a tremendous career and vary large fan base for a long time.
BTW - If you ever get a chance - The Negro League Baseball Hall of Fame at 18th and Vine is an incredible way to spend a day.
