I've always thought Hodges was the most deserving eligible player who hadn't yet made it. Also thrilled for O'Neil, Minoso and Oliva. Kaat is a bit borderline for me, but still happy for him.
Great that Bud Fowler made it, although to be honest, he's a bit before my time!

Let's see what kind of memorabilia is out there -- I'll start with some game bats, a '65 Oliva jersey and a unique Hodges autographed photo. Somewhere around here I have an Olive rookie bat and a '59 Minoso All Star bat, but I'll have to post them later. Update: having trouble posting the Oliva jersey photos.

Hi Greg,
I was of the belief that Hodges and Kaat would make it, but wasn't certain that the others would get in.
