With voting on the early days and golden age baseball taking place this weekend, I thought I would look back on some players who had careers that were on a Hall of Fame path derailed by injuries. There will always be debates about players who are in, and those who so far have not been elected. For years I have bemoaned the fact that Gil Hodges is not in. And I am not alone in that belief. Hodges is once again on the Golden age list along with guys like Dick Allen, Ken Boyer, Minnie Minoso, Roger Maris, Maury Wills, Jim Kaat, Danny Murtaugh, Tony Olivo and Billy Pierce.
SO Close, Yet So Far Away
