Gil Hodges finally won election to the Baseball Hall of Fame in the Class of 2022. Public domainBy Dan SchlossbergFor the ninth straight year, USA TODAY Sports Weekly editor Steve Borelli has commissioned me to write several features for his annual Hall of Fame Induction Preview. For the Gil Hodges piece, I found Gil Hodges, Jr., Carl Erskine, Jeff Torborg, Art Shamsky, and Ron Swoboda, but also remembered that electees who both played and managed can only be considered for one body of work. I’ll also be working as a guide for Sports Travel and Tours, official tour operator of the Baseball Hall of Fame. His byline appears in forbes.com, Latino Sports, USA TODAY Sports Weekly, and Sports Collectors Digest.
