Hall Welcomes The Late Ron Santo
Seattle native and legendary 3rd Baseman Ron Santo has been elected by the Veteran's committee to the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Santo played for a Chicago Cub team that may have been the best team ever to not play in post season, the fact that Santo did not play in the post season could have factored into him being passed up 18 times for enshrinement. Santo played for the National League All Star team, a team that I remember as a consistent winner 9 times. He was a winner of 5 gold gloves. As a hitter, he belted 342 homers during his career.
Santo was an extremely popular radio analyst for the Cubs for over two decades. He died almost exactly a year ago from complications from bladder cancer.
