Re: Santo finally makes the HOF
Being a Cubbie fan, I am really glad he got in. I thought he was a great Cub player, but a fringe HOFer. However, I like what he did after his playing days were over...diabetes awareness, fundraising, broadcasting, promoting the Cubs/baseball. It just makes me sick that he is a HOFer today but not in previous years when he would have been able to enjoy the honor. If I was his family it would be more a slap in the face than the honor I'm sure the voters intended it to be.
It is amazing, though, that people are complaining about his induction when I felt the heat for saying similar things about Rice getting in. I personally believe Santo deserves in more than Rice...at least he was a GOOD bat and a GREAT glove (5 gold gloves)."We need rebirth of the American tradition of leadership ... in private life as well." "'Trust me' government asks that we concentrate our hopes and dreams on one man; that we trust him to do what's best for us. My view of government places trust not in one person or one party, but in those values that transcend persons and parties. The trust is where it belongs--in the people." - Ronald Reagan"
