The Old Redhead block at the plate the double-play and see them improve every day this is satisfying these things lead to winning ball I asked him one final question do you account for the success of the think it is the improvement of all the young he said a fine young pitching staff I believe it is because the players gained confidence within themselves that they could do the job and do it He summed up play has been a big Red Barker fro 'tu '73 ilk A year to the day after Gil Hodges had a heart attack in Atlanta he watched his young New York Mets clinch the National East Division title In catching the Chicago Cubs he proved there was nothing wrong with his heart The Mets renewed his contract for three years and for much more money When you interview a big league manager after as hectic a month as baseball ever saw you should be select in your opening question I met Hodges in 1943 when he reported to the Brooklyn Dodgers With this long friendship in mind and knowing that Hodges is a direct man who does not play conversational games I asked him what I really wanted to know Maybe Hodges is the only manager I would have asked this question: this may sound silly I began I want it to be too personal but do you think having that heart attack taught you anything about He hesitate know it taught me about he began "I think that if you learn more about life you have to learn more about everything else that doing To answer your question I would say yes one thing I quit smoking and I feel I remembered what a heavy cigarette smoker he was and it must have been difficult for him to quit But he made up his mind in the hospital and that was that Taught to Have Patience IS an interesting question what having Others Moved Him to First HODGES WENT to the Dodgers as a shortstop Pee Wee Reese was there so he moved to third Billy Cox was there He caught and Roy Campanella was brought up So he went to first base Sometimes pitchers got him out The Yankee pitchers in the seven-game World Series of 1952 put him in the record book no hits for all of his 21 times at bat Dal Maxvill of the Cardinals last fall went 0-for-22 to get Hodges off that spot Hodges actually' got himself off in his next four World Series with eight hits seven hits seven hits and nine hits He drove in both runs in game No 7 of 1955 when the Dodgers finally beat the Yankees 2-0 for the title Hodges has learned patience He learned to wait for another year And what a year the man finally is having the heart attack taught me not tod certain Maybe to have more patience Maybe to accept the tougher things in baseball and to accept them easier lost my temper this year but not nearly so often as if I had the heart attack raised a little heck but done it quickly and gotten it over with and forgotten I asked Hodges what were his satisfactions in this turbulant year you are on a winning ball club Managing a winning ball club for the first time especially when you can sit back and see the young people Improve Doing things right to help the team The big man emphasized the words and the coaches and I see these boys execute the proper plays the cut-offs the run-downs the HPfr sjvwv ert Faces Phillips
