Having said that, I think Hodges' playing stats + his character + his 1969 Miracle Mets makes him a solid candidate.

[QUOTE=bbcard1;2171264]So you're saying we should take the worst player in the hall fo fame (which Baines isn't, by the way) and let everyone better than that in?[/QUOTE
Barry Manilow deserves to be in the rock and roll hall of fame over Jimi Hendrix because he has 25 x more top 10 hits and sold more tickets to more shows. James Dean? Hell, his career is nothing compared to Tom Cruise. Look at the numbers. And don't get me started on Otis Redding. Hell, he's no Ed Sheeren to be sure.

I'm a huge Dodgers fan, but unfortunately, as far as stats go, he just wasn't good enough. It's really not even close either.
And as great of a guy as he was, unfortunately, character can't get you into the HOF, it can only keep you out of it.

Ask yourself this: what's changed about his record during the FIFTY TWO years he's been eligible?

What changed about the many guys he received more votes than during his original eligibility who are now in?
Rizzuto, Schoendienst, Doerr, Kell, Bob Lemon, Ashburn, Slaughter, Mize, Reese, Newhouser, Gordon, Snider, Fox, Roberts, Mathews etc.
