Known generally as the best third baseman NOT in the Hall of Fame. Ron Santo passed away today at the age of 70. I am not a Cubs fan, but I have always recognized Mr. Santo as a legendary player, a good broadcaster and a Chicago home town Hero and a class act. My wishes are with his family, friends and MANY fans. You will be missed Mr. Santo, thank you for the memories! troll out.

My all-time favorite, as you probably know. Why'd you have to pick that picture?
ReplyDeleteHackenbush,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that picture, always have. I have a copy in my office. I have always wanted to post it on this blog. I wish it had been in different circumstances, but it is a great shot that sums that (and every) Cubs season well. I don't have any Santo cards in my collection and I don't like "borrowing" web images, so there you go...
I've always like that photograph. Not your typical sports photo but one that definitely tells a story.
