    Only 2 years late. I'm sure Dave M. is happy.

    Just another reason the Hall of Fame has lost all credibility.

    Santo is not a hall of famer, sorry.

    On the bright side though, I now know that Dale Murphy will get in one day by some "commitee".

    Nice. Poo poo on a collective birthday cake. Have you seen Santo play? In person or on TV ? If you have, then my sincere apologies.

    I now feel better about Jeff Bagwell's chances...

    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"

    By saying this, my goal was not to diminish Ron Santo's achievements. While he was a little before my time, he did excellent work both on and off the field. It's just sad that he won't be there to enjoy his induction.

    He would have if not for Joe Morgan and his pals on the old living HoFer Veterans Committee that went out of their way to ensure that no one joined "their" club. Santo deserves it, he's now got it; his ability to enjoy it was taken away by Morgan and his elitist cronies already enshrined.

    Dave, Is that your house out there in the left field foul ground?
