Ron Santo was a good man. But he should not have been admitted to The Hall of Fame. He doesn’t have the career numbers to merit it.

BS. Let's start with a better lifetime batting average than Mike Schmidt . . . playing mostly in a pitcher's era. Then there is the string of gold gloves second only to Brooks Robinson. An outstanding broadcast career. And charitable service far beyond his salary grade.

Ron Santo had it all and did it all.

[taillightchaser]

How about electing him to the broadcaster wing? Cub fans loved him and he was a role model to a lot of folks.

He led the league in 3b putouts 6 years in a row and assists 7 yrs in a row. He hit 342 HR’s. Averaged 100 rbis for 10 years. He had the stats.

He doesn’t have the career numbers to merit it.

A .277 lifetime average, 342 home runs, 1,331 RBIs, nine time All Star and five time Golden Glove winner in a 14 year career doesn't merit Hall of Fame?

Santo played 3rd, which doesn’t have a ton of Hall-Of-Famers, which benefited him, as well as his post-playing career and the popularity that followed him. Didn’t hurt that Billy Williams was on the committee either. His career numbers made him a marginal Hall-Of-Famer, but a sentimental favorite.
