I love Santo and all, but this over done admiration that puts him as a player over Ernie and Billy in a lot of fan's mind, is kind of irritating in situations like these. Santo was a great player and likely should be a HOF, but Billy Williams was way better. In terms of best Cubs players ever, Santo doesn't even crack the top 5. Personality wise, he's in a league of his own. But as a player?
