Longtime Dodgers player and manager (1924–1972) who later joined the Mets and managed the team in their stunning 1969 World Series victory. He died of a heart attack at the age of forty-seven. ALS signed “Gil,” one page, 6 x 6, March 27, 1959. Letter to baseball executive Frank Slocum. In part: “Just a note to send you some checks for the Fund…Everyone hasn’t come through yet but I’m still hoping as time is growing short. Should be hearing from Ralph sometime this week and I hope its good news. Gosh, I’m hoping we can get started and be ready for this winter. Will call you as soon as I talk to Ralph.” In fine condition, with trimmed bottom edge. After a dismal 1958 season, things turned around for Hodges and the Dodgers as they captured another National League title, with Hodges contributing 25 home runs and 80 RBI.
