Santo

Disappointment.

That is how I feel today. It was announced that Ron Santo has again been passed over for entrance into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

I have already read others who have waxed more eloquently than I. Just let me say that Ron has given more to the game of baseball than baseball can repay. He is a good man who has had two strikes against him from the start and has always made the best of it.

He will make the best of this as well. He will admit his disappointment. Then he will climb back into the booth and yell and cheer and shake his head at the current roster of Cubs.

In a funny way, Santo has become the Cubs. Wait ‘til next year, Ron. Wait ‘til next year.
