I see now that Gillick was a left-handed pitcher with the 1958 NCAA Championship USC team. He then apparently was with the Orioles farm system for 5 years, before becoming a scout for Houston. Makes me wonder if there might be a USC team postcard or perhaps a minor league card of this guy? As I said before, sometimes acquiring challenging cards of unusual people can be fun and interesting.

Ken, it looks like he just missed out on being included in the 1963 Scheible Press Rochester Red Wings cards--bummer!
Also, glad you are happy with the Teachout card--it is a pretty tough one w/ all the Seattle collectors out there! -Rhett

Our guys become eligible in 2012. The Veterans Committee will elect 1880-1940ish players in 2012 with guys playing 1940ish to 1960ish being considered next year. Not sure of the exact dates but Ed Reulbach, Mike Donlin, Deacon Phillipe and Bill Dahlen all have another shot in 2012.

Glad to see Gillick get in before Steinbrenner. George will be in soon I am afraid. Gillick turned around several franchises and made winners of them- Baltimore, Seattle, Toronto, which collapsed after he left. I'm not thrilled with GMs and owners making it in to the Hall but Gillick deserved it if anyone did.
By the way, unless a certain core of guys voting die suddenly, Marvin Miller won't be getting in. Did you read the comments about the anti-labor voters like Andy McPhail who voted? Ouch!
