GIL HODGES CARDS IN THE BINDER
Base, parallels, numbered, autos: every Gil Hodges card Dad’s willing to part with.
A manager card in 2026 Prizm feels like the hobby deciding Gil Hodges needs the chromium treatment five decades after the fact. The Pulsar finish dresses up what amounts to recognizing his managerial tenure rather than his far more accomplished playing days in Brooklyn. At least they picked the 1969 championship season to commemorate instead of another forgettable expansion club manager.
ABOUT GIL HODGES
Gil Hodges was a first baseman and manager in Major League Baseball who played most of his 18-year career for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers. He appeared in one game as a third baseman with Brooklyn in 1943 before he enlisted in the Marines for service in World War II. From 1949-57, Hodges averaged 32 home runs and 108 RBI per season, and during those seasons, the Dodgers won five National League pennants and the 1955 World Series title. He won the first three National League Gold Gloves as a first baseman, an award that began in 1957.
In 1968, Hodges took over the Mets, who had never won more than 66 games in a season, and by 1969, the Miracle Mets were World Champions. The 1969 Mets posted a 100-62 record and won the World Series over Baltimore. This collection features a 2026 Prizm Pulsar parallel honoring his New York managerial legacy.
