Big baseball news ! Ron Santo finally inducted into the Hall of Fame a year after his passing. Santo was a nine time all-star, won Gold Gloves, hit over 300 homers , 1300 RBIs, .277 career average, 40 year career as Cubs announcer...and a tireless advocate for a cure for diabetes. You will never find a braver , stronger, more upbeat person...Especially in light of his bi-lateral leg amputations resulting from diabetic complications . He never openly felt sorry for himself! Let that be a huge life lesson for all of us.
His offensive numbers were a little better than Brooks Robinson's... Brooks, "The Human Vacuum Cleaner ", was inducted on the strength of his unbelievable defensive play . Superior to Santo in that respect .
So while Santo was an all-star and an unbelievably great human being.....Did his numbers actually warrant the Hall of Fame?
Your thoughts?
