Back in 2012, Tom Seaver had this to say about Gil Hodges' impact as Mets manager: "He brought what we as young athletes, professional athletes, were missing, which was the understanding of the definition of professionalism." | SNY

"Because of his innate dignity, he appealed to people. Hodges brought that character to everything he did as a baseball player and later on as a baseball manager." - Ron Swoboda on Gil Hodges | MLB Network
