Gil Hodges

This article (I realize behind a paywell, but worth a subscription) totally depresses me. While Gil Hodges' cold numbers might be a step behind HOF numbers, he stood for everything great about baseball and by all accounts was a tremendous human being. Did a lot for Jackie behind the scenes. If the baseball HOF stands for everything good about the game and the guys who played it, and not just some number crunching bullshit by a bunch of computer geeks, it's a continuing embarrassment that he is not in Cooperstown.

Shouldn't the gold standard be character and what you did for the national pastime, and not WAR?

I realize this has been debated many many times. It just sticks in my craw everytime it comes around and I read more about the man.
