The former Yankee and Indian 2nd baseman will be inducted into Cooperstown next summer. From AP-
NEW YORK — Former second baseman Joe Gordon has been elected to the Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee.
The late Gordon was a nine-time All-Star with the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians. He played on five World Series championship teams and retired in 1950.
Gordon was the only person elected Monday on a ballot of players who began their careers before 1943.
Ron Santo, Gil Hodges and Joe Torre fell well short of the 75 percent needed for election to Cooperstown.
Gordon is a good choice. Torre will be elected one day, Santo maybe. Hodges, and this coming from a NY Met fan, I don’t think will make it and am not even sure if he is worthy of induction. It is debatable.
