| | JockBio: Gil Hodges Biography |
 | | Gil also met and married Joan Lombardi, a Bay Ridge native, in 1948. |
 | | Unfortunately for Dodger fans, next year was 1954, and the Giants got an MVP season out of Willie Mays, a batting title out of Don Mueller, 21 wins out of Johnny Antonelli, and a near-flawless performance from a bullpen headed by old-timer Marv Grissom and knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm. |
 | | Brookyln had a good season, too, but their 92 wins didn't match New York's 97. |
