Phil Rizzuto did not play in that game. He played his last game in August 1956.

For years I had assumed that Hodges was in the Hall of Fame, but of course he's not. If Hodges makes it (lifetime .273), and with Arky Vaughn, Phil Rizzuto, and Harmon Killebrew there, you could make a case for Bauer (.277 lifetime and a fine clutch player). Actually, if you're enshrining everybody above "pretty good," then Dale Mitchell belongs there too (.312 lifetime).
