Though strong enough to crush a baseball into oatmeal, Gil Hodges was one of the kindest, gentlest men in the game and these two photos display his softer side. One is a famous picture shot by official Mets photographer photographer Herb Scharfman of the Met manager with his "lucky rabbit" during the magical 1969 season, encased in a great display with a ticket from the '69 World Series signed by Hodges. Hodges also signed a photo of him and his son. Signatures and ticket EX, photos MT.
