About the Player
A short bio from the Helmar “This Great Game” card back: Has reputation as one of the nicest guys in the league, according to an informal survey of National League umpires who never hear a bad word from Gil. Father was a semi-pro ballplayer in Indiana until he lost an eye in a coal-mining accident. Mr. Hodges still took time to teach his son how to hit a baseball. His professional career was put on hold when he enlisted in the Marines, where he participated in the invasion of Okinawa, earning the Bronze Star. Hodges uses a special first baseman’s mitt by Denkert because of his oversized left paw.
