Cubs radio announcer and former third-basement Ron Santo once again will be waiting for a phone call today and he is hoping that it is the Hall of Fame on the other end.  After falling just 8 votes shy of the Hall of Fame in 2005, Santo feels that this could be the year even though he doesn’t want to get to excited for it and have it not happen again.

It would be awesome to see Santo make it to the Hall of Fame.  He was one of the best third basement in his era of playing, only behind Brooks Robinson, who some thing Santo was even better then.  Santo’s numbers back up everything about being in the hall of fame, and if the veterans committee does not vote him in today, they might as well just get rid of it as they haven’t voted one player in since forming the group.

We wish you all the best Ron, you have been a pleasure to talk to in person, and always have a story for everyone!
