Goodbye Ron Santo

Ron Santo...

These were the Cubs I knew when I first became aware
of baseball...aware of being a Cub Fan. Now we've lost
one of them, as Ron Santo died today of complications
from bladder cancer and diabetes. Recently, he's been
the voice of the Cubs on WGN Radio and to date is
probably the best third baseman to play the game that
ISN'T IN THE HALL OF FAME! Hopefully the Veterans
Committee will come to their senses and vote him in.
As a player, an announcer, and as a person...he will
be missed.

I have been a lifelong Cubbie fan, and I am sad that he never made it to the HOF. I was lucky enough to meet him last spring. It is a treasured memory.

He would have my vote. So would Pete Rose, Joe Jackson and Keith Hernandez.
