This weekend, Gil Hodges, 8 time All-Star with the Brooklyn Dodgers, was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame. His number 14 is the 11th number to be retired in Dodger history.
The newly minted Hall of Famer was one of the best sluggers in the history of the franchise. He hit 361 career home runs while driving in 100 or more runs in seven straight seasons. Hodges was a key asset to the Dodgers teams that went to the World Series seven times during the late 1940s and ‘50s, winning it all in 1955 in Brooklyn and ‘59 in Los Angeles.
