The National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Golden Days Era panel voted to induct Gil Hodges into the Hall of Fame. Hodges guided the Mets to their first World Championship in 1969.
Mets Owner, Chairman & CEO Steve Cohen
“The Mets are overjoyed that Gil Hodges will take his rightful place into the Baseball Hall of Fame. We thank the Golden Days Era Committee for recognizing Gil’s achievements as a player and as a man who delivered the Mets first World Series Championship in 1969. Many agree that the Miracle Mets’ accomplishment would not have happened without his leadership, guidance, dignity, and grace. Congratulations to his wife Joan, son Gil Jr., and daughters Irene and Cindy, who we are thrilled will be able to cherish and celebrate his selection.”
