Gil Hodges Jr. the son of 1969 Miracle Mets manager Gil Hodges in 1969, was on Keeler on Thursday discussing his dad's induction into baseball's Hall of Fame.
Gil Hodges was finally elected to the Hall of Fame in December by a special committee, ending half a century of waiting that included several close calls.
Yesterday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame, which happily resides just over an hour from the center of the Capital Region, announced six new players that will be added to the Hall in 2022. Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso and Tony Oliva were elected by the Golden Days Era Committee, and Bud Fowler and Buck O’Neil were chosen by the Early Baseball Era Committee according to mlb.com. The class will be part of the July 24th induction ceremony in Cooperstown next year.
