1962 Los Angeles Dodgers Program Signed by Gil Hodges
Gil Hodges was the legendary first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers, and a key member of the 1955 Dodgers, the only Brooklyn Dodgers team to win a World Series. When the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, Hodges helped the Dodgers win another World Series in 1959. Displayed is a 1962 Los Angeles Dodgers game program signed and inscribed by Hodges. During the 1950s, Hodges hit 310 home runs, and Gil had more homers and RBIs in the decade than any MLB player except Duke Snider. A great fielder, Hodges won the first three Gold Glove Awards for first base play, and he was a 4-time leader in NL double-plays for a first baseman, and a 3-time NL leader in first base putouts, assists, and fielding percentage. As a manager, Hodges led the "Miracle Mets" to their 1969 World Championship. The former World War II U.S. Marine was posthumously inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame 2022. The offered program measures 8.5x10.9", and the clever program cover features a great "Hollywood" image of a Dodger fan, complete with stylish dark shades, his own program (with a Los Angeles map on its cover), and a hot dog. In '62, Hodges was a first baseman on the New York Mets during the expansion team's inaugural season. Writing in blue ink from a ballpoint pen, Hodges inscribed and signed the program, "Best Wishes Gil Hodges." Gil's writing is neat, big and bold. The item comes with a full JSA LOA.
