Ron Santo - Andy - 12-08-2008
Will he be elected to the HOF today? My money says today is finally the day.
Ron Santo - rok - 12-08-2008
I'm always pessimistic about his chances, so that's all I'll say for now.
Ron Santo - Jody - 12-08-2008
Today is the day.
Ron Santo - Andy - 12-08-2008
If you trust "sources close to the situation", they say Santo, Dick Allen and Joe Torre all got voted in. Here.
Ron Santo - Butcher - 12-08-2008
I'm pretty sure I'm going to shed tears, no matter what the outcome is.
Ron Santo - funkster - 12-08-2008

Ron Santo - Andy - 12-08-2008

Reading the user replies at that link, I am amazed at the negative attitudes towards Santo potentially going in the hall. I truly believe that looking at it rationally, there is no way that Santo isn't a HOF. This is one of the problems with someone just looking at career batting numbers and making a determination. Those numbers don't tell the whole story. When you take everything into consideration, Santo is a surefire HOF. I think it's a travesty that he wasn't in a long time ago.
