There always seems to be a rush to get rid of all these guys who tie us to bygone eras...
Santo is a jewel. He may not have the skills he once did, and may be in deteriorating health...but, I don't think you just kick him to the side whenever you feel the desire.
Some teams have classic color guys...Ivy-league trained and as bland as unsalted butter. We've got Ron...a hometown hero and a true fan. He's one of us. I say he stays until he decides to go...and I'm going to relish every minute.
And...let's not forget. He played, and lifted this team up, when he was sick. I think we can do the same.
