If you look at his statistics, Gil Hodges election to the Hall-of-Fame was driven by seven monster years in Brooklyn, when he just destroyed National League pitching.  His 1952 Bowman effort captures him in the midst of this run, with a batting pose set against the steel framework of Ebbets Field. Some light corner wear can be seen and the image is centered a little to the lower left, with crisp registration and color. The reverse has typical wax stains for the issue, attesting to this Hodges originally being included in a penny pack.
