"Few players in the history of baseball were as beloved by fans across the country as Gil Hodges. A man of character, dignity, courage and class, he was admired not only for his formidable baseball skill, but also for his quiet strength both on and off the field. Gil Hodges: The Quiet Man is a story told by those who knew him best -- his teammates on the immortal Brooklyn Dodgers of the 1950's, the men he managed on the 1969 World Champion New York Mets, as well as friends and associates. Hodges spent sixteen of his eighteen big-league seasons with the Dodgers, helping the team win seven pennants. A priemier first baseman, he was named to eight all-star teams and retired in 1963 as the leading right-handed home run hitter in National League history. He managed the Senators from 1963 to 1967 before the Mets. He died of a heart attack in 1972." -- from the inner front jacket flap. Seller Inventory # 006738
